When it comes to testing, a lot of effort is spent selecting the “right” testing tool. However, often this effort is expended for a second-class goal. Certainly, you need a tool that works for you, your development environment, your project, and your process. However, what is paramount for good testing is not...

This paper introduces a new DC/DC power supply architecture, called “Yeaman Topology”. The main characteristic of this topology is to separate the output voltage regulation function from the bulk power conversion function, implementing two stages that share a common input, and have their outputs in series....

As factory automation systems become more intelligent they will move data acquisition, storage and processing out to the edge of the network, enabling real-time machine controls and management. Factories will be smarter and more connected. These “edge nodes” will predict, then prevent failures before they occur...

All power supplies generate waste heat which has to be dissipated. The heating effect becomes greater as more components are squeezed into smaller spaces. The result of miniaturization is higher levels of heat per cubic volume of space.
The heat generated by components not only passes into the air around the components...

Silicon carbide diodes have been around for some time now but have had little take-up in power supplies due to their relatively high cost. XP Power has recently adopted a silicon carbide (SiC) diode for the first time in the design of its latest family of modular, configurable power supplies known as fleXPower.
