Let’s continue our journey into power electronics components that are employed as switches in the switching regime while using some SPICE simulations to observe their general behavior. The switching ...

Power electronics is a key enabling technology in essentially all electronic systems and is increasingly important in the grid interface of renewable energy sources and in efficient electrical loads.

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal stresses. Soft switching employs more sophisticated design to reduce stresses and ...

Several aspects must be taken into account when dealing with power electronic design. Within a system we can identify different elements such as thermal dissipation, electrical characteristics, ...

There’s a transition taking place in the power grid. Actually there are a number of transitions taking place and it’s a normal continuous process. Some are in the foreground while others are in the ...

The key part of the FPGA design is to determine the voltage requirements needed and the current requirements of each voltage rail. The major FPGA vendors offer comprehensive calculators that take into ...

The field of cryogenic power electronics explores the enhancement of power conversion devices through operation at extremely low temperatures. By utilising cryogenic cooling methods (typically ...
