Power Management

Silicon power semiconductors are employed in power management systems. They are found in two different forms:  ...

The Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA) has issued a warning from its Chief Counsel, Robin Gray, on the increasing threat of counterfeit parts getting into the supply chain during component shortages. ECIA encourages the electronics...

Next-generation data centers will employ processors, memory, and supporting circuits that require more power for its servers. Enter the Power Stamp Alliance’s proposed higher-power modules.

Including its four external components, a µModule boost converter occupies less than 1 cm-squared single-sided or 0.5 cm-squared on double-sided PCBs.

Virtually all power supplies employ semiconductors to provide a regulated output voltage. If the supply has an ac input, it is rectified to be a dc voltage. A power converter IC accepts the dc input and produces a dc output or controls external...

Overall design of the power-management subsystem involves several system-oriented issues. Adequate space must be available for the selected power supply. Make sure the power supply will fit in the space provided for it. Therefore, make sure the...
