I am pleased to bring you this month’s author for RAQ on Planet Analog, Frederik Dostal [[email protected]]. He studied microelectronics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

While simple voltage converters can generate a fixed output voltage from an input voltage, this behavior isn’t sufficient in certain applications. An example is the control of a voltage node that has ...

Laser power conversion and photovoltaic systems represent a rapidly evolving field where optical energy is directly transformed into electrical power using specialised semiconductor devices. Recent ...

In many applications, voltages require upward and downward conversion. One example would be if an input voltage range of 6 to 24 V is available, and 12 V would be generated from it. Classical ...

With SINAMICS PCS, Siemens presents a new power conversion system for battery storage applications. The SINAMICS PCS grid converter makes locally generated batter power usable for industrial and ...

In this article we introduce a new class of DC-to-DC converters, an example of which is the LTC3336. It only consumes about 65nA of current in standby mode, making it ideal for battery-operated ...

InnoSwitch3-EP 1250 V ICs underline company’s continued leadership in high voltage GaN technology NASHVILLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ECCE 2023 – Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI), the leader in high-voltage ...

Global demand for green hydrogen is high and rising fast. Some studies predict that the electrical power demand to produce green hydrogen will be 4500 GW by 2050, compared to today’s (2023) electrical ...

You’ve renewed your passport, bought your plane tickets, and researched your destination; now it’s time to prepare for the little details of traveling overseas. One is making sure you have the right ...
