Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Figure 1: The energy distribution in pure quantum turbulence. Figure 3: The excess power leaving the BBR as a function of time after stopping the grid. Figure 4: The power dissipated by decaying ...

Power electronics is a constantly evolving sector. High operating temperatures, high voltages, and high switching frequencies require new capabilities that only materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) ...

Designers can have—and eat—their cake with economizer circuits, which embrace the physics of solenoids and relays to bring power savings and improved reliability to solenoid driving. When I think of ...

How is peak current defined? A close look at datasheet headlines and how they vary. A case study that compares different drivers and peak currents. One question often comes up when considering what ...

Concerns about the power consumed by semiconductors has been on the rise for the past couple of decades, but what can we expect to see coming in terms of analysis and automation from EDA companies, ...

Every couple of years, a new generation of computer processors is launched. For a long time, CPUs seemed to stick to the same level of power, whereas GPUs only increased by a relatively small amount.
