Voltage transients in MV power systems have been observed to contribute to failures of both power and instrument transformers in data centers in recent years. This white paper provides a background ...

For years, transients generated on the utility grid have plagued industrial and commercial facilities with a high concentration of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and other sensitive loads. The common ...

A PQ expert can link an abnormal current or voltage waveform to an abnormal condition on a power system just as a handwriting expert matches a signature to a person. Many facilities now have online ...

Increasingly, the space industry is using faster, higher-density FPGAs and broadband ADCs/DACs powered using lower and lower supply voltages generated by switching DC-DCs and POL regulators. Poor PCB ...

The transient performance and frequency stability of hysteretic-based synchronous DC-DC converter ICs can be improved with ramp control and adaptive on-time techniques. The control method used in a ...

Direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converters with faster switching frequencies are becoming popular due to their ability to decrease the size of the output capacitor and inductor to save board ...

DC-to-DC switching converters are widely used in most portable devices. They efficiently generate various regulated supply voltages for different sub-blocks within the same system board. A typical ...

Power systems for networking and communications systems must be able to respond to the transient power needs of powerful system processors such as DSPs, FPGAs, Asics, and microprocessors. Texas ...
