Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure 1 are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by 1 ...

National Semiconductor Corp. introduced four new high-voltage, non-synchronous buck controllers that include a comprehensive feature set of high input voltage range, high-performance pulse width ...

What are HVICs? High-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) translate low-voltage control signals to levels that are suitable for driving power switches in high-voltage applications. HVICs also can ...

Spain’s grid operator Red Eléctrica and regulator CNMC have launched real-time voltage control services, allowing renewable energy installations to provide dynamic grid support under a new regulatory ...

The controller operates at 94% efficiency converting 60 V input to 12 V at 36 W. Burst-mode operation reduces no-load quiescent current to less than 100 A. To increase efficiency during light loads ...

An AC/DC power supply with input power greater than 75 W requires power factor correction (PFC) to: Take the universal AC input (90 V to 264 V) and rectify that input to a DC voltage. Maintain the ...
