Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about voltage droop/IR drop with Bill Mullen, distinguished engineer at Ansys; Rajat Chaudhry, product management group director at ...

At one time a relatively infrequent occurrence, voltage drop is now a major impediment to reliability at advanced nodes. Decades ago, voltage drop was only an issue for very large and high-speed ...

The circuit model in Figure 1 captures the important low-frequency behavior of most voltage regulators (Reference 1). Parameters C 2, R 2, and L 2 represent a typical bulk decoupling-capacitor array.

Details behind Empower's new funding. The shift from board-level to chip-level voltage regulation. Commercial buy-in for voltage regulator ICs. Power startup Empower Semiconductor said it raised more ...

This article examines engineering concepts for transitioning from 12-V to 48-V power systems, with a particular emphasis on ...

Dynamic loads create some of the most challenging application problems for power supplies. Rapidly changing currents or pulsed currents are extremely difficult to manage. Many devices under test (DUTs ...

The need often arises to supply more current to a load than the output current rating of an available power supply. At such times it may be possible to connect two or more supplies in parallel in ...

The integration of renewable resources, energy storage systems and advanced power electronic converters has elevated the prominence of DC microgrids within contemporary energy networks. Optimised ...
