Vicor’s Gary Gill says that using high-voltage DC for power distribution offers tangible and significant benefits for both sourcing options and system end-to-end performance. New technical ...

All buck converters need capacitors on the input. Actually, in a perfect world, if the supply had zero output impedance and infinite current capacity and the tracks had zero resistance or inductance, ...

Introduced as the industry’s smallest dual ac and dual dc power input modules, the Dual AC and Dual DC modules are designed for use in IEEE 1101.10/11-compliant systems. Both modules are hot swappable ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...
