A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted ...

As power demands climb in everything from renewable-heavy electric grids to AI data centers, the pressure on power electronics to deliver more performance in smaller spaces is mounting. Electricity ...

An onboard charger converts power between the power grid and electric vehicles or hybrid electric vehicles. Traditional systems use two stages of power conversion: a boost converter to implement unity ...

UC San Diego engineers have developed a new chip design that could make data centers more energy efficient by improving a ...

In March 2026, Power Integrations introduced its TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family using PowiGaN technology, extending flyback converter power capability to 440 W while improving efficiency and reducing ...

How GaN is used in DC-DC power converters. Challenges and advantages of using GaN semiconductors. When designers need high-voltage to low-voltage DC-DC converter designs, both the input and output ...

In power converters, the input capacitors are fed through inductive cabling to the power source. Parasitic inductance will cause ringing of the input voltage to almost twice its DC value when first ...
