PC-board layout sets the functional, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and thermal behavior of a power supply. Good layout from first prototyping on actually saves significant resources in EMI ...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not rocket science, but it’s not plug-and-play magic either. This short primer walks through the basics with a few practical nudges for those curious to try it out. It’s a ...

Editor’s note: I hope to see many of my EDN and Planet Analog audience at APEC in Tampa, FL this year. Texas Instruments will have Bob Mammano at their booth at APEC where you can meet him and enter ...

The power semiconductor evolution started with germanium and selenium devices that succumbed to silicon types around the 1950s. Broader silicon usage stemmed from its improved physical properties ...

Diamond quantum sensors can be used to analyze the magnetization response of soft magnetic materials used in power electronics; report scientists based on collaborative research. Using a novel imaging ...

The world of power electronics has changed over the decades as the products they power have evolved. For several decades, it was PCs and servers. Then, a massive influx of portable electronics, ...
