A phase converter provides three-phase power from a single-phase source. Old-style mechanical converters use a hybrid motor/generator, while electronic converters use capacitors and other devices to ...

Monolithic boost converters can convert low input voltages to a higher output voltage, all in a compact solution size. However, when the output power requirements increase, so do current levels and ...

To achieve high power densities, hybrid inductor-capacitor switching converters are used. These hybrid inductor-capacitor switches prevent transient inrush currents, which usually cause loss in the ...

One of the hidden complications of upgrading grain drying and handling systems is providing enough electricity to power the new larger electric motors. Electric motors that are larger than 15 hp ...

No matter what the latest microprocessor, FPGA, or ASIC has in store, their demands always seem to be the same—the need for higher current while operating at lower voltages. A core voltage of less ...

Step-down (buck) voltage regulators have long been the preferred DC-DC conversion electronic workhorse thanks to their inherently high efficiency. Only in buck mode the current is directed to the ...
