In this guide, we explain the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) in simple terms for everyone to understand. For the optimal performance and longevity of electronics, it is important to maintain stable ...

Previously, I compared space-grade isolated DC-DCs and switching POLs, which resulted in lots of interesting discussion between us. With so much emphasis on cost, I was recently asked by a customer to ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the introduction of the TCR3DMxxA and TCR3EMxxA series LDO voltage regulators. 300mA LDO voltage regulators Credit: Toshiba Electronics Europe These ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

Download this article in PDF format. Many modern servers, as well as telecom and networking equipment, are populated with multiple voltage regulators on the system board to provide power to ICs or ...

In the last decade, volt/volt-ampere-reactive (VAR) control became one of the most desirable smart grid applications. Its primary objectives include voltage control, VAR or power loss minimization ...

Power distribution in data centers used to emulate the architecture of old telephone central offices. A “rectifier” would step down and rectify the ac from the power line and use it to charge banks of ...
