Maximizing energy efficiency and power density have now become requirements for power supply designs in low power chargers and adapters. It has become necessary for synchronous rectification (SR) to ...

This article describes emerging trends in synchronizing digital ICs and shows how process scaling, rapid increases in clock frequencies, and demand for lower power dissipation will affect the choice ...

Synchronous interfaces involve a single clock domain and are relatively easy to design. However, at times, it is advantageous and necessary to have an asynchronous interface between peripherals for ...

New power supplies incorporate synchronous switching technology, yet can withstand voltage spikes up to 60 V and supply up to 2.5 A, something that was previously impractical. These capabilities ease ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Power-supply design becomes complicated when you’re faced with multiple conflicting specifications. One example is the design of a double-data-rate (DDR) memory supply for an automotive environment.

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

The dual-sprocket design of Synchronous Plus synchronous drives feature both metric and standard-tapped holes coupled with a high-capacity Synchronous Plus belt, resulting in 50% more horsepower ...
