    Designing Highly Efficient Power Supplies for Smart Factories

    Figure 1: Non-synchronous buck converter

    As sensors and communication modules send factory processing intelligence to the edge, routine decisions can be made faster without involving the main processor. The additional intelligence, however, must use the same or even less space on the factory floor. This, in turn, calls for more product functionality in

    Maximum Efficiency for Inverters

    Galvanic isolation between the high-voltage and low-voltage sides.

    TDK has joined forces with Infineon Technologies to develop a design for xEV inverters that achieves a very high efficiency of over 98 percent over a power range of 10 kW to 150 kW. This success has been achieved by matching of the Infineon IGBT module and the EPCOS and TDK passive components. The new Infin

    Interference-free cabling

    Long lines for distributed loads can emit and be susceptible to interference which can affect the connected loads. However, the loads work without disruption as long as a few basic rules are observed when it comes to cabling. Moderndevices and systems are generally complex, their electrical/electronic components
