With so many inexpensive, dedicated analog PWM controllers available, why should a designer opt for digital feedback control using a DSC? One advantage to using a DSC is that operating modes (voltage ...

The digital control of switching power supplies is firmly established in everything from EV onboard chargers (OBCs) to power-supply units (PSUs) in AI data centers to renewable-energy systems that ...

In everything from onboard chargers (OBCs) and DC-DC converters in EVs to the AI power supplies in data centers to solar, wind, and other renewable-energy systems, fully digital power control is ...

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

Single-phase power factor correction (PFC) circuits--a kind of front-end AC/DC converters--are ubiquitous in a variety of consumer electronic devices, including laptop adapters, LED driver power ...

Researchers have proposed a new way to control power factor correction circuits that could lead to sensorless power control.

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

The 2025 International Solid State Circuits Conference was held in San Francisco from February 16 th to 20 th. IBM presented three papers [1,2,3] based on their Samsung 5nm Tellum II chip. These are ...
