To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...

Properly selected components make it easier to design modern, energy-efficient power supplies. In this article we present an ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

This article is adapted from a presentation at TestConX, March 5-8, 2023, Mesa, AZ. A power-delivery network (PDN), also called a power-distribution network, is a localized network that delivers power ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...

These are electrical components that have been on the market for a while and have the capability of reducing the power supply voltage delivered to them to a fixed and constant amount. Obviously, the ...
