The advantages offered by a synchronous buck or boost topology can also be applied to a buck-boost topology, where the converter’s output voltage falls within its input range. In this case, a ...

This article describes emerging trends in synchronizing digital ICs and shows how process scaling, rapid increases in clock frequencies, and demand for lower power dissipation will affect the choice ...

Power-supply design becomes complicated when you’re faced with multiple conflicting specifications. One example is the design of a double-data-rate (DDR) memory supply for an automotive environment.

The synchronous buck converter is a widely used topology in low-voltage, high-current applications. One common application is a point-of-load (POL) converter that transforms a system bus voltage of 48 ...

What if a single innovation could save industries millions of dollars, slash carbon emissions, and redefine what we thought was possible in energy efficiency? Enter ABB’s new 56.2 MW brushless ...

A line of permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) fulfill the soon-to-be-implemented IE4 (Super Premium Efficiency) classification. The motors are 40% more efficient than IE2 inverter- driven ...

Like a cross between traditional belting and chain, timing belts include a main body and engaging surfaces — a.k.a. teeth. They're used to synchronize motion on everything from copiers to conveyors.
