Space constrained applications like portable devices require especially designed DC/DC converters with a certain set of characteristics. Tight space, by definition, requires tiny DC/DC converters which have excellent thermal performance. This article digs deeper into the challenges that arise for the power supply of s

The subject of power supplies is potentially very broad and the application of resistors in power supplies is quite diverse. Here we will focus on power supply units (PSUs) designed for use in electronic appliances that nominally require fixed DC outputs ranging from just a few volts up to a few kV.
Whether

For more than thirty-five years, the power MOSFET dominated the power management systems due to its constant technological evolution from its device structure to its applications to circuit topologies. However, at the dawn of the new millennium, power MOSFET reached its theoretical limitations that it became un
