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 ...

EVs are transitioning toward high-voltage (HV) standards, which have made energy management requirements more complex. The dc ...

Primary types of non-isolated converters. Primary types of isolated converters. Challenges selecting DC-DC converters. At the heart of modern electric vehicles is the DC-DC converter. It delivers the ...

Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power; occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used. For this reason, negative (or inverting) output DC-DC converter ...

If you want to convert one voltage to another, what do you do? Well, if you are talking DC voltages today, you’ll probably use a DC to DC converter. Really, these converters generate some sort of AC ...

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 ...

Download this article in PDF format. The groundbreaking PWM-Resonant Ćuk topology could revolutionize the design of non-isolated, step-down dc-dc converters. This new topology provides much ...
