The ongoing electrification of cars brings new trends and requirements with every new design cycle. One trend for battery electric vehicles is reducing the size of the low-voltage batteries, which ...

As power demands climb in everything from renewable-heavy electric grids to AI data centers, the pressure on power electronics to deliver more performance in smaller spaces is mounting. Electricity ...

Scientists have developed a ground-breaking piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter that unifies all power switches onto a single chip to increase power density. This new power topology, which extends ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...

Relationship of power density and field strength. Some of the more uncommon power-density apps. RF designers frequently need to know the true power density or field intensity at a particular distance ...

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, ...
