Switching to synchronous rectification delivers efficiency gains in off-line power converters
By Qikun Wu, Product Marketing Manager
Have you noticed how well some things go together? I’m not talking about ham and eggs or salt and pepper, which are really just complementary. No, I’m talking about things that need to go together in order to really work, like a camshaft and a push rod.
The Evolution of the Headlamp
By Simon Ramsdale, Analog Products – European and Automotive Marketing Manager
The last two decades has seen significant change in automotive lighting, an evolution that is particularly noticeable in the area of forward lighting. Headlights have evolved from simple ‘on/off’, uni-directional lamps to more adaptive lighting solutions and it is an evolution that has accelerated noticeably since the development of LEDs for the automotive market.
Connected Cars Are Driving Innovation
By Simon Ramsdale, Analog Products – European and Automotive Marketing Manager
The Automotive market place is undergoing a revolution with respect to the connected car.
Powering Connectivity in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
By Colin Davies, European Applications Manager
IoT is the drive for what is an ‘EoT’ event, the ‘Electronification’ of Things. IoT simply means that an object has a web addressable link; what you can do with that interconnectivity is driving the huge boom in the electronics sector.
Meeting Demand for Optimization in a Connected World
By Oliver Woyke, VP Sales – EMEA
The electronics industry is familiar with change, but we are currently experiencing the redefinition of entire sectors where electronics is an enabling technology, driven by increased connectivity.
LDOs Offer Parental Guidance for Embedded Electronics
By WenLong Zhu, Senior Technical Marketing & Program Manager
We all need to let off steam once in a while but, generally speaking, we know when to stop; we can self-regulate our behavior because we are responsible adults. Children, on the other hand, often get a free pass or two when it comes to their behavior because it is all part of the learning process and, possibly, what some adults dislike most about being a grown-up.
How to Avoid Menu Anxiety when Developing LED Power Solutions
By LiFei Ruan, LED Senior Marketing Manager
Do you dread going to dinner with that certain someone because you just know they are practically incapable of making a decision when looking at a menu? While this can be vexing, try not to blame them because they could be suffering from something psychologist Barry Schwarz has termed the Paradox of Choice.
LDOs Bring Serenity to an Otherwise Hectic World
By WenLong Zhu - SLL Business Unit
The world may seem hectic at times, but stability is crucial to sensitive electronic devices. Imagine a duck making its way across a millpond; it might look serene above the waterline, but underwater its feet are working away in a rhythmic frenzy of paddling.
Innovative Deep Trench Process Enables Increased Efficiencies in Power Conversion
By Dr Timothy Chen – Diode Division Director
Power and efficiency are becoming synonymous in high voltage applications. Power management circuits are measured by their efficiency at the conversion stage because as well as the cost of lost energy any losses often manifest themselves as heat, which must subsequently be dissipated at extra cost.
