    From Low Noise to No Noise

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

      In previous TechTalk columns, I’ve talked to Frederik Dostal about how Analog Devices’ Silent Switcher technology has been designed to minimize noise in voltage conversion, and how the company has continued to improve the devices to decrease those noise levels in later generations of products.

    Getting Assistance for Complex Designs

    Bevan Braude, manager for vertical markets at Tria

      Designing electronics for products has changed considerably over time. Increasing complexity means that it is harder for engineers to excel at multiple disciplines. To use power systems as an example, power engineers are mostly highly skilled at analog electronics, but more and more designs are inco

    1700V GaN­ for Auxillary Power Applications

    Andy Smith, director of training at Power Integrations

      In a flyback, the benefits that can be achieved from GaN in terms of efficiency are usually limited to applications where the MOSFET stress is below 650V. At higher voltages, SiC or silicon are normally used for conversion. SiC can be pretty efficient but is more expensive than GaN and much more expens
