Updates to Legislation Drive External Power Supplies’ Efficiency
Source: Gary Bocock,Technical Director at XP Power As concern for carbon emissions grows, most countries have introduced legislation to regulate the efficiency of external power supplies (EPS), so that as little as possible of our natural resource is wasted. This legislation encourages power supply manufacturers to introduce EPS models with higher efficiency and lower no-load […]
Minimizing the Impact of Source Resistance on High-Voltage DC to DC Converters
Source: XP EMCO A primer for system designers Resistance between a low-voltage power supply and the input terminals of a DC to HV-DC converter results in not only power-loss but reduced long-term reliability in the converter. The impact of source resistance to a converter is measured using XP EMCO A-Series models. Design guidelines are given […]
