Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Considering the choice between MLCCs and conductive polymer capacitors from three perspectivesIn discussions about AI servers ...

GaN devices have low gate-charge requirements, low gate voltage margin, and packages that are designed to expose as little ...

This article covers chip ferrite beads used in DC power lines. Even if a datasheet states "X ohms at 100MHz," if the noise you want to suppress is at a different frequency, that single number alone ...

IR drop is becoming more problematic for a growing proportion of designs, an indication that the power delivery network (PDN) is not providing enough current to parts of the design when required.

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...

North Reading, Mass. — Teradyne has introduced the DC90XP, a four-channel floating, high power voltage/current (V/I) source and measurement instrument for the FLEX and microFLEX test systems. The ...

Two of the top considerations in data center and server power-supply unit (PSU) designs are power density and efficiency. Meeting the strictest efficiency standard—80 Plus Titanium—is now a minimum ...
