LONDON — Fabless startup Cambridge Semiconductor Ltd. has unveiled details of its first product, a mixed-signal controller IC for switched-mode power supplies that it expects will help companies ...

This white paper reinforces the notion that digital power supplies are here to stay and there has not been a better time to make the switch to digital. The AC-DC Reference Design from Microchip is a ...

A new reference design developed by ROHM Semiconductor uses a single microcontroller (MCU) to control both sides of the AC-DC power supply — the power-factor-correction (PFC) AC-DC converter stage and ...

Digital power means more than printing a 1 and 0 next to the on/off switch. The fact that power supply companies disagree about what the term digital power means is a sure sign of the technology�s ...

GS Yuasa has been granted a patent for a method to control a power supply system in moving bodies. The method involves detecting abnormalities in multiple energy storage devices and activating a ...

SoC design has a number of techniques for power management. One of the more prevalent methods is to use power gating to turn on and off blocks based on applications being run, and mode controls. Power ...

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 ...

We sure have seen a lot of advancements in the NAND Flash realm announced of late, and we suspect much of that has to do with the 2009 edition of the International Solid State Circuits Conference. The ...
