Analyzing and managing power at the system level is becoming more difficult and more important—and slow to catch on. There are several reasons for this. First, design automation tools have lagged ...

Although variable dc power supplies might appear to be relatively simple instruments, engineers rely on them to deliver stable, precise, and clean voltages and currents, regardless of the load. To ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

At the core of every electronics system is a chip that has to meet multiple conflicting requirements such as increased functionality, best power efficiency, highest reliability, lowest design cost and ...

This article will outline the ISS power system, starting with the Solar arrays and moving into stability analysis criteria of the rest of the power management system and loads. A pinpoint beam of ...
