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
How to Design and Implement an Adapter Power Supply With Active Clamp Flyback
Designing power supplies, especially for power adapters, requires that the designer possess a particular level of expertise and insight into implementing the best architecture. This level of expertise is especially relevant when using a power architecture known as Active Clamp Flyback (ACF). This article will demonstrate, to designers, a practical design method to obtain a … [Read more...] about How to Design and Implement an Adapter Power Supply With Active Clamp Flyback
