DENVER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions – expands its ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

This document is all about the replacement of the traditionally used isolated flyback converters on designs involving 9 W applications into a much preferred off-line AC-DC buck converter. Comparison ...

One trend that shows no size of ending is the move to smaller personal electronic devices. From smartphones to tablets, each successive generation is smaller and more powerful than the last. It’s ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

This course teaches how to design a feedback system to control a switching converter. The equivalent circuit models derived in the previous courses are extended to model small-signal ac variations.

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Last month, we described a patent-pending Bridgeless PFC converter based on a novel hybrid-switching method that ...
