Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...
Another way to reduce the inrush current is to reduce the load on the converter during start up. This lowers the load dependent part of the inrush current and leaves just the part due to the input ...
As semiconductor chip technology advances towards nanometre and sub-nanometre scales, the demands becomes exponentially more ...
Helix Semiconductors’ HS200 DC-DC MuxCapacitor Power IC is a new type of voltage divider that can play an integral role in a distributed power architecture (DPA) system. It provides a high-efficiency ...
Power consumption of modern microprocessors has been increasing as clock frequency and the number of transistors have grown. The general trend has increased maximum processor power consumption by a ...
Fig. 1. Basic single-phase circuit and load. As the load draws current, a voltage drop develops across the supply and return conductors. N-G voltage measurements at the load will reflect the voltage ...
NERC has published an incident review examining the risks and challenges caused by the increasing integration of voltage-sensitive large loads, such as data centers and cryptocurrency mining ...
Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...
