Most of the diagnostic, treatment, and life support devices used in healthcare require regular power supply in order to function properly. Accidentally turning off a medical device can have serious ...

The Power Switches are the heart of every power converter. Their operation will directly determine the reliability and efficiency of the product. To enhance the performance of the switching circuit of ...

Power gallium-nitride (GaN) FETs have been available for several years now, but some engineers have been slow to adopt them in power equipment despite their superior characteristics. Getting ...

In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

Power modules are high-power switching circuits that convert DC- in AC-currents in electric vehicles, renewable energy, and many more applications. New materials [14] and device technologies [14], ...
