Resonant-mode topologies offer many benefits over traditional buck, boost, and flyback solutions. These include soft-switching, higher operating frequencies, higher power density, and higher ...

In the previous articles, we assumed that the descriptions of DC/DC converters were ideal, neglecting the effect of parasitic elements. Thus, it is important to note that inductors have capacitive and ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) are known for their superior efficiency. And while they achieve a significant level of efficiency, the quest to improve it even further continues to march on. One ...

For an undamped LC circuit excited by an AC voltage source through simple phaser equations, we come to see that the circuit becomes short circuited at the resonant frequency. However if we analyze the ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched the “GT20N135SRA,” a 1350V discrete IGBT for use in voltage resonance circuits in tabletop IH cookers, ...

Tesla coils are one of those builds that capture the interest of almost anybody passing by. For the naïve constructor, they look simple enough, but they can be finicky beasts—beasts that can bite if ...

Researchers have now succeeded in producing an extremely simple and compact source of terahertz radiation: An oscillator with double resonant-tunneling diodes. Its radiation power significantly ...
