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 ...

The quest for higher power and greater efficiency in all power supplies never ends, especially when it comes to all heavy-duty converters. Some examples are power supplies used in data centers, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) enables device charging without direct physical or wired connections. Resonant circuits are key ...

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, ...

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 ...

Last month's column covered the behavior of electrical components connected in series and demonstrated that when a voltage is applied across a series circuit, the current through each component is the ...
