Differential-mode EMI currents flow only in the functional unit's active input and return path, and are isolated from the system ground or earth-return path. By understanding where EMI conduction ...

Advanced semiconductor technology allows an increasing number of transistors to be integrated onto ever-smaller silicon chips. This increases the power density, however, and presents power-management ...

Application requirements for compact, easy-to-use voltage regulators with better efficiency than LDOs is spurring the development of a new class of buck-converter ICs. These devices are monolithic ...

Using a previously derived circuit model, coupled inductor designs can be optimized for best performance in multiphase power converters. Any inductor or transformer with multiple windings is a coupled ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...
