Application flexibility and cost concerns are creating a demand for intelligent power-supply designs that support soft configuration in production and external control. These advanced power supplies ...

Digital control of switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) is becoming practical thanks to the evolution of low-cost, high-performance devices with peripherals designed for power-conversion applications.

An AC/DC power supply with input power greater than 75 W requires power factor correction (PFC) to: Take the universal AC input (90 V to 264 V) and rectify that input to a DC voltage. Maintain the ...

Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...
