Voltage Controlled Magnetic Components for Power Electronics
Voltage controlled magnetic components, which consist of dynamically controllable inductances and transformers, are a promising yet understudied technology of growing interest. In fact, these components offer circuit designers an additional degree of freedom to achieve multi-objective optimization with improved Pareto fronts. This article provides a review of some technologies … [Read more...] about Voltage Controlled Magnetic Components for Power Electronics
Heterogeneous Integration: A Promising Technology to Future Integrated Power Conversion Electronics
Since its renaissance, heterogeneous integration (HI) where unique merits of different silicon or III-V technologies, has been widely explored in many power electronics and achieved remark- able success. It is known that the success of power conversion electronics is mostly attributed to the low-power, fast-response, and accurate mixed-signal control circuitry and the low-loss, … [Read more...] about Heterogeneous Integration: A Promising Technology to Future Integrated Power Conversion Electronics
