Power bricks get an efficiency boost with GaN
The design of an LLC resonant converter illustrates how eGaN FETs can shrink the physical size of modern supply circuitry. Alex Lidow, Efficient Power Conversion Corp. The rapid expansion of computing and telecommunications has brought a migration to a 48 V-based power architecture. Applications for this higher-voltage architecture include artificial intelligence, 5G, big data, and […]
SOIC-16-sized DC/DC converters provide 3 kVdc/1 min isolation
New dc/dc converters in a SOIC-16 package feature 5-V (4.5-5.5 V) inputs and a semi-regulated 5-V output are rated at either 0.5 W (R05C05TE05S) or 1 W (R05CTE05S). Line and load regulation figures are specified across the full temperature range, and there is no minimum load requirement, making the parts ideal for applications that have […]
