Power architects engaged in designing systems requiring low output noise and fast transient response — such as RF transmitters, power amplifiers, test systems, displays, designs supporting low-voltage ...

As the form factor of wireless handsets, PDAs, and other portable electronics continues to shrink while their complexity level continues to grow, design engineers face an increasing number of problems ...

Power quality issues involve all aspects of power system operation, from steady-state voltage regulation to the control of high-frequency transients caused by lightning or switching operations.

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

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 ...

Murata has added extra functionality to its on-line ‘SimSurfing’ tool for simulation of the company’s capacitor, inductor and filter components. The tool features simulation of the application ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
