These include soft-switching, higher operating frequencies, higher power density, and higher efficiency. Electronic ballast circuits for fluorescent lighting applications have already been taking ...

A good layout design optimizes supply efficiency, alleviates thermal stress, and most importantly, minimizes the noise and interactions among traces and components. To achieve these, it is important ...

For example, Tektronix incorporated a switching power supply into a portable oscilloscope in 1966, and RO Associates introduced a 20-kHz switching circuit in 1967, which is regarded as the first ...
