Figure 1: Gate driver circuit diagram with a Bourns transformer
While gate driver-based converters deliver improved efficiency, speed and signal integrity, their high frequency switching features can produce elevated levels of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI), posing challenges to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and overall system reliability. To solve this

With just one twisted pair of wires, Single-Pair Ethernet is a convincingly lean solution. This cabling becomes even more efficient if it is also used for power supply in addition to data transmission - this is referred to as "Single-Pair with Power-over-Ethernet" (SPoE). What about electromagnetic compatibili

Figure 1: LPD moves current through one layer from the board’s edge to its center
Each generation of accelerators, whether GPUs, AI engines, or XPUs, consumes more power than the last, pushing the limits of what engineers have designed server architectures to support. In fact, a single inference request to a generative model today consumes ten times more energy than a conventional web search. Mu
