In March 2026, Power Integrations introduced its TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family using PowiGaN technology, extending flyback converter power capability to 440 W while improving efficiency and reducing ...
An onboard charger converts power between the power grid and electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles. Traditional systems use two stages of power conversion: a boost converter to implement unity ...
As power demands climb in everything from renewable-heavy electric grids to AI data centers, the pressure on power electronics to deliver more performance in smaller spaces is mounting. Electricity ...
How GaN is used in DC-DC power converters. Challenges and advantages of using GaN semiconductors. When designers need high-voltage to low-voltage DC-DC converter designs, both the input and output ...
Scientists have developed a ground-breaking piezoelectric-based DC-DC converter that unifies all power switches onto a single chip to increase power density. This new power topology, which extends ...
The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) shown in Figure 1 is popular in applications >500 W because it can achieve soft switching on its input switches for high converter efficiency. Although switching ...
