The future of electronic devices lies partly within the 'internet of things' -- the network of devices, vehicles and appliances embedded within electronics to enable connectivity and data exchange.

In the early days of electric railways, DC was the most common power supply. As it was at the time not feasible to step down DC voltages on-board the train, transmission between the substation and the ...

The mains of the world were constructed as a giant copper causeway to transport electricity from the generating station to our homes and factories. Today's problems on the mains were unknown a few ...

A method of measuring both the inductance and the paralleled capacitance of a transformer winding was presented some years ago at in this URL. That essay should be read to best follow the thesis of ...

Power supply designers can increase efficiency while moving to a higher switching frequency. To prove this, engineers at Power Integrations tested comparable flyback designs running at 66 and 132 kHz.
