Intersil introduces a new family of four-phase synchronous PWM (pulse width modulation) buck controllers. These devices achieve the fastest transient response with the fewest output capacitors and ...

Two of the most recent trends in high performance DPA (Distributed Power Architecture) systems are the need for extremely fast transient response and the usage of IBA (Intermediate Bus Architecture).

An undervoltage or voltage sag is a disturbance that commonly occurs during electrical faults or when equipment is turning on. They are produced when large currents are being drawn on the system. On ...

Here's how to reduce the effect of capacitor switching on your power system Last month's article discussed exactly what happens when electric utilities switch shunt capacitors: power system components ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Processor-based systems place strenuous voltage regulation requirements on their power supply. In many instances, this ...
