Electricity comes in two basic forms: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). DC is handy to use and is easy to analyze. However, AC has some useful properties too. In particular, AC current ...

This paper presents a new high-voltage integrated circuit (HVIC) technology that is optimized for AC/DC power conversion applications with increased digital content. The cost-effective process uses ...

Editor’s note: I had previously reviewed this book by Efficient Power Conversion's talented power experts and found it to be very instructive for power designers, students, and anyone interested in ...

The demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient AC/DC USB power delivery (PD) chargers is always a challenge for power-supply design engineers. Below 100 W, the quasi-resonant flyback is still the ...

Making a dc voltage from an ac source means you will have to rectify the ac voltage to get a dc bus. One difference compared to a dc-dc converter is that you can use a linear power supply with an ac ...
