A power tip that discusses how to address highly integrated USB PD charger design constraints with a self-biasing circuit.

This AC to DC converter circuit is capable of converting an alternative voltage within 70V – 260V range into a DC voltage within 180V to 350V DC range, so it can be used for 110V and 220V too. To ...

ROHM leverages its LogiCoA technology to control a power-factor-correction stage and flyback DC-DC converter stage at the same time.

Advancements in power TVS diodes have made them an effective alternative to metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in protecting AC and DC power supplies from power line surges and indirect lightning ...

Configuration of telecom DC power systems Figure 1 depicts the block diagram of a battery-powered DC system. The main components are the battery, battery disconnect circuit breaker, charger-rectifier, ...

By manipulating the switching frequency and turns ratios of the transformer, the circuit can have an arbitrary output voltage. In this case, it is designed to take 220V AC and convert it to 8V DC.

GE Energy Connections will deliver Europe’s first medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) link as part of Scottish Power Energy Network’s Angle-DC project in Anglesey and North Wales. The technology will ...

Famously, Nikola Tesla won the War of the Currents in the early days of electrification because his AC system could use transformers to minimize losses for long distance circuits. That was well ...
