    ­High Density Modules Power New Automotive Architectures

    Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing, Vicor

      Weight matters in electric vehicles. Every extra kilogram reduces the potential range of the vehicle. It also causes other problems, like degrading tires quicker and damaging roads. EVs are already much heavier than their ICE counterparts, making this problem worse. There are a number of initiatives c

    Space Saving and Other MLCC Benefits

    Individual chips are arranged horizontally with J-leadframes for surface mounting

      PSD – What are the basic benefits of MLCCs?   JG - Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are compact, cost effective, and reliable. They have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) values, which allows them to smooth high ripple currents. They are often used in place of and/or in para

    ­Bridging a Gap in the Power Design Process

    Frederik Dostal, Subject Matter Expert for Power Management, Analog Devices

      Multiple power rails are now a fact of life for power designers. Whether it is to supply power at board level or to an individual IC, it is likely that two or more different voltage levels will be required for the circuit to operate correctly. Designers often use their own experience and instinct to deci
