The demand for greater energy savings is constantly increasing. For product designers, this means paying attention to the key parameters of power devices, including high efficiency and low standby ...

This project demonstrates the design and development of an AC-to-DC converter circuit using KiCad, a free and open-source EDA tool. The converter takes standard 230 V AC mains input and outputs a ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

The demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient AC/DC USB power delivery (PD) chargers is always a challenge for power-supply design engineers. Below 100 W, the quasi-resonant flyback is still the ...

There�s no need to risk the device failures sometimes encountered when using voltage-fed converters. Switching power supplies in the tens of kilowatt power range have been slowly replacing ...

This design provides an overview of the implementation of a single-phase Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC/DC converter. DAB topology offers advantages like soft-switching commutations, a decreased number ...

Key parts of the Vidar motor including: (1) a bidirectional, non-sparking, corrosion-resistant fan made of a conductive plastic; (2) the terminal box; (3) the IP66-protected AC-Link converter and ...

Abstract: In this article, a high voltage gain DC/DC boost converter with low component counts by using a coupled inductor is introduced to boost the input voltage. The use of coupled inductors in ...
