White Hot: Is Your Power Supply Hacker Proof?
It is a sad fact that our digital connected world is under constant attack from malicious parties. Most of the time those bad actors are trying to steal money through fraud or extortion (ransomware attacks). Some of those malicious actors though have a bigger goal of attacking or terrorizing a nation by disrupting or crippling critical infrastructure such as power generation, … [Read more...] about White Hot: Is Your Power Supply Hacker Proof?
Meeting the Power and Magnetic Design Challenges of Ultra-Thin, High-Power Density 48 V DC-DC Converters for Ultra-Thin Computing Applications
Over the past decade computers, displays, smart phones and other consumer electronics systems have become thinner while also becoming more powerful. As a result, the market continues to increase its demand for thinner power supply solutions with greater power density. This article examines the feasibility of adopting various non-isolated dc-dc step-down topologies for an … [Read more...] about Meeting the Power and Magnetic Design Challenges of Ultra-Thin, High-Power Density 48 V DC-DC Converters for Ultra-Thin Computing Applications
Expert View: GaN Outperforms Silicon, Enters Mainstream
How does one define ‘main- stream’? In the case of gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductor technology, we believe that since you can now buy a sleek, 65 W mobile charger using GaN for under $25 on Amazon, it is reasonable to assume that it has been fully accepted by the consumer markets, which—almost by definition—makes it a mainstream product. For more about this … [Read more...] about Expert View: GaN Outperforms Silicon, Enters Mainstream
