Getting EMI emissions under control is one of those tasks that R&D engineers do not enjoy doing . EMI must often be taken into consideration as early as the design phase, particularly in the case of power electronics systems with increasing switching speeds of wideband gap semiconductors. While EMI receivers or spectrum...

The pace of innovation has changed. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can no longer take years to introduce new products or update functionality in existing products. If your customers can’t get what they want, when they want it, they’re quick to go elsewhere.
OEMs in nearly every industry are becoming...
Improvements in AC/DC power supply design are evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It’s easy to settle for tried-and-tested approaches because no one new design technique is likely to yield great benefits. The design challenge is to establish what small enhancements can be made in various parts of the design...
The LGA80D from Artesyn Embedded Technologies is the first DC-DC converter module of its kind on the market. This innovative non-isolated unit offers two independent and configurable 40 amp, 100 watt outputs, which can also be combined to a single configurable 80 amp, 200 watt output. With a footprint of 1 x 0.5 inches...
DC-DC converter designers can achieve higher power density at lower power levels by using forward converters with synchronous rectification and gallium nitride transistors. One very typical application is a 26 W, 48 V to 5 V , Power over Ethernet Powered Device (PoE-PD).
A simplified forward converter schematic for...

With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
Whether they be CPUs, micromicroprocessors or microcontrollers, microprocessors are an indispensable component in modern electronic system design. However, using mid-range microprocessors can cause some problems.
These challenges can easily be overcome with the use of FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays),...
MIPI D-PHY is a practical PHY for typical camera and display applications. It is designed to replace traditional parallel bus based on LVCMOS or LVDS. However, many processors and displays/cameras still use an RGB, CMOS, or MIPI Display Pixel Interface (DPI) as interface. A bridge is often required to connect a processor...
In this white paper EPC continues our exploration of optimization issues and look at the impact of dead-time on system efficiency for eGaN® FETs and MOSFETs.
Previously published articles showed that eGaN FETs behave similarly to silicon devices and can be evaluated using the same performance metrics....
