Traditional beliefs about switch-mode and linear power supplies need to be re-evaluated in the light of today’s supply performance From time to time, engineers struggle when choosing an ...

How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...

In the past couple of years, it has become very evident that CPUs and GPUs have become increasingly power-hungry. We doubt this will change in the near future, so those who prefer super-powerful ...

Nvidia's latest graphics cards are here, but are you ready for the upgrade? Readying your wallet is one thing because they all cost a pretty penny, but there's also an added cost that many of us ...

Power supplies, also known as PSUs (power supply units), are one of the most important components of a PC build. It supplies power to all of the components, and it's also tasked with handling things ...

f you are purchasing a power supply from a reputable manufacturer, it’s safe to assume the output power quality is going to be similar (i.e., power factor, efficiency, ripple, etc.). This may be the ...

Power supplies are used in a wide range of difficult and demanding environments. However, what makes a modern power supply “rugged” is subjective. For example, a power supply that’s robust and rugged ...

Wall-mounted AC Adaptors, sometimes called wall-warts, have been a standard way of providing electricity to low-power devices since the 1970s, powering everything from clock radios to Wi-Fi routers to ...
