Development engineers working on the design of cost-efficient power electronic converters used in electrical drives, UPSs, welding machines or inductive heating systems depend on reliable and robust ...

I enjoy seeing modules that can make designing other devices easier, and when I did a call for design reviews, [enp6s0] has submitted one such board to us. It’s a module called TinySparrow (GitHub), ...

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of blog posts about teaching online. Tanya Long Bennett is a professor of English. Although most of us have likely benefited from the self-reflection and ...

The world’s energy demand is rising, and NREL’s ULIS power module could help meet it. Demand for energy worldwide is climbing rapidly, driven in part by power hungry data centers that support ...

Size and power often seem like opposite sides of a coin. When you reduce size – one of the ever-pressing goals in our industry – you inevitably reduce power. But does that have to be the case? By ...

In 2019, an interesting trend started to appear in the PV market, in which the increase in module peak power was not being driven by significantly improved cell efficiencies, but instead by simply ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Power modules offer many benefits. Versions with integrated inductors can simplify designs, reduce overall size, and help assure compliance with EMI ...

ESA’s team for the European Service Module is based at the Agency’s technical heart ESTEC in The Netherlands. From here around 60 people oversaw the design and reviewed it together with NASA and ...

Understanding design and performance characteristics can help machine and system designers select the best products to satisfy requirements of the machines they are building. Semiconductor ...

“We see a decoupling between what modules are expected to survive based on previous industry knowledge, and what they’re actually able to survive in testing,” says Colin Sillerud. Image: CFV Labs.

Look at a picture of the Apollo 11 launch and you'll probably notice the rocket's pointed tip and the fire coming from the five giant engines in the first stage of the 36-story-tall Saturn V rocket.
