Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

New York, United States , Feb. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Global Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Market Size is to Grow From USD 1.62 Billion in 2023 to USD 2.03 Billion by 2033, at a Compound ...

In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the & “older ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) are the dominant type of power supply in electronic equipment today. Their small size and high efficiency make them ...

In the second part of this two-part article, the authors describe how to determine the efficiency losses associated with passive components and how features offered by controller ICs can be used to ...

The proper installation of switch-mode power supplies in control systems is crucial to guarantee 24/7 availability and reduce problems associated with grounding faults, harmonic distortion, and other ...

Aside from apparently having both the ability to reproduce on their own and simultaneously never being around when you need one, USB chargers seem innocuous enough. The specs are simple: convert mains ...
