What are output capacitors and how do they impact power supplies? Simulating a circuit to reduce the amount of capacitors in a supply. What is adaptive voltage positioning? A power supply’s output ...

Many systems operating from a small-capacity battery require a high-efficiency switching DC/DC converter to lengthen the operating lifetime between battery recharges. However, many of these systems ...

Autoranging power supplies, sometimes simply called autorangers, are designed to provide a greater range of operation than a typical supply. In my estimation, less than 10% of the power supplies on ...

This is an engineering report describing a 0.3 A, 5 V and 0.7 A, 12 V dual output embedded power supply utilizing INN3672C-H602 from the InnoSwitch3-EP family of ICs. This design shows the high power ...

Input ratings: Typical power-supply modules are designed and rated to operate with their inputs connected to lines delivering 105 to 125 Vac. Most 115-Vac power systems maintain line voltage within ...

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 ...

Power supplies are a frequently misunderstood—and overlooked—PC component. Many users choose a PC power supply based on total wattage alone, assuming that higher is always synonymous with better.
