Introduction to Gate Drivers

Introduction to Gate Drivers for Power Electronics

A gate driver is a power amplifier that accepts a low-power input from a controller IC and produces the appropriate high current gate drive for a power device. As requirements for power electronics continue to increase, the design and performance of the gate driver circuitry are becoming ever more important.weiterlesen

12 Schritte für den Entwurf von SMPS-Transformatoren

Designing magnetic components for SMPS can be challenging due to the increasing demands of modern electronics designs. Following these 12 steps can help engineers navigate the challenges and ensure a successful projectweiterlesen

Phase Shifted Full-Bridge components

SMPS: Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Converters

Phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converters reduce switching loss and increase efficiency by phase-shifting the gate signals between the leading leg and the lagging leg switches without additional circuitsweiterlesen

SMPS Resonant Converters

SMPS: Resonant Converters

Demand for smaller electronics (and thus smaller power supplies) continues to increase. Resonant techniques are used to allow for high-frequency operation in switched-mode power supplies, which in turn allows for smaller componentsweiterlesen

SMPS: Symmetrical Isolated Converters

The fourth article in our series on switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) covers the main types of symmetrical isolated converter topologies: push-pull, half-bridge, und full-bridgeweiterlesen

SMPS: Asymmetrical Isolated Converters

Isolated SMPS topologies are split into two main categories depending upon how the transformer is utilized: asymmetrical and symmetrical. In this article, we discuss asymmetrical isolated converter topologies.weiterlesen

SMPS : Non-Isolated Converters

Non-isolated converters are less common than isolated converters among typical switched-mode power supply (SMPS) topologies. But they still have several useful applications.weiterlesen

Intro to Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) are fairly complex compared to linear regulated power supplies. But this complexity results in a stable, regulated DC supply that can deliver power more efficiently for a given size, weight and cost.weiterlesen
