After a four-part introduction, the LLC gain equation is finally introduced. This portion was delayed due to the need to explain that the LLC is a switched mode power supply (SMPS), yet the gain has ...

Because of the shell arrangements of electrons in various atoms and molecules, some substances are quite good at allowing a few electrons to move about freely (e.g., copper, silver, gold, aluminum), ...

Switching activity is an essential part of the power equation and optimization. Quality of switching activity information can have a direct effect on quality of results. Switching activity is ...

Power is the energy transferred per unit time. Power is measured in watts (W), energy in joules (J) and time in seconds (s). 1 W = 1 J/s (1 watt is 1 joule per second.) Electrical power can be ...

When you determine conductor sizes for low-voltage feeder or branch circuits, do you account for voltage drop? Some people believe this is unnecessary, and some believe that doing so is a Code ...

Analog behavioral modelling (ABM) allows designers to implement their own devices when only first order effects are necessary. In-line equation syntax differs from editor to editor. IsSpice4 uses the ...

As consumer devices continue to shrink in size, power considerations and appropriate thermal design become increasingly important for circuit designers and board layout engineers. This tutorial helps ...
