An increasing number of appliances draw a very small current from the power supply. If you need to design a mains powered device, you could generally choose between a linear and a switch-mode power ...

It’s not entirely clear why [Advanced Tinkering] needs a 50,000-volt power supply, but given the amount of work he put into this one, we’re going to guess it will be something interesting. The stated ...

As the number of electric vehicles rises, manufacturers are switching from 12 V to 48 V power supplies as their preferred power source. Higher voltages provide more driving force for power systems ...

A power supply lets engineers upgrade systems. They can boost performance and control without changing existing setups.

The theory behind building power supplies is relatively easy, but putting it into practice and building a multi-kilovolt supply is hard. A big transformer in air will simply spark to itself, turning ...

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Energy (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement, and control solutions – today unveiled a new 48-volt DC-input ...

Power-supply designers frequently encounter projects where the input voltages are much higher compared to the low output voltages usually require to power the target equipment. Typical output needs ...

In multiple-output-voltage power supplies, the topology may place restrictions on the startup sequence. This can be particularly troublesome in an isolated power supply, where a lower output voltage ...

With Computex Taipei 2013 less than a month away, tech companies are scrambling for a number of reasons. Some are using this week as launch to bring forth many products seen at CES, while others are ...

We don’t often talk about power supplies, but Intel’s new ATX12VO spec—that’s an ‘O’ for ‘Oscar,’ not a zero—will start appearing soon in pre-built PCs from OEMs and system integrators, and it ...

Power supplies are simple, right? Just figure out how much power draw all your computer parts use, get one with a few more watts, and call it a day. Wrong! In addition to creature comforts like ...
