The 275-W N-0275 Series of switchmode power supplies have digital power management and an optional PMBus capability. The very low- profile form-factor devices deliver 12.22 W/in. power density at 90% ...

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 ...

Buffalo Grove, IL - Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce its expanded line of three-phase power supplies. The SPD Series 3-Phase Switch-Mode Power Supplies are offered in 120, 240, 480 and 960 watt ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

When I was in graduate school 10 years ago, a controls group proposed to the power-electronics center to use an advanced microcontroller in power supplies. This controller was to implement a new ...

The never-ending drive towards smaller and lighter products poses severe challenges for the power supply designer. In particular, disposing of excess hear generated by power semiconductors is becoming ...

Trench Schottky offers new system benefits. Roger M. Kenyon, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. RC components of an SMPS have many characteristics that aren't shown on a typical ...

[Mike] wanted a better power supply for his argon laser, so he modded some switchmode power supplies. With a few tweaks, he had a few adjustable voltage outputs and a nice solid supply of electrons ...

Power supplies, also known as PSUs (power supply units), are one of the most important components of a PC build. It supplies power to all of the components, and it's also tasked with handling things ...

The proper installation of switch-mode power supplies in control systems is crucial to guarantee 24/7 availability and reduce problems associated with grounding faults, harmonic distortion, and other ...
