Research by the French Scientific Research Centre (CNRS) and STMicroelectronics has indicated that better control over the voltage ramp used to programme eeproms can reduce the current needed and ...

Audible noise in voltage regulator (VR) systems has been a problem for a very long time. In the PC industry, the issue became more pronounced as the CPU became responsible for significant and ...

It’s not always easy to design a ramp generator whose ramping frequency can be changed without manipulation of capacitors or inductors. Many ramp circuit designs are available, but they may not be ...

Using a microcontroller to manage the operation of a switching power supply allows designers to implement new programmable features previously unavailable from stand-alone controller chips. Many of ...

The electronics industry is seeing a move toward higher voltages and currents to deliver sufficient supply and charging power in products ranging from handheld cellphones and tablets to workstations.
