The buck converter has emerged as a critical element in modern power electronics, offering highly efficient voltage step‐down conversion for a wide array of applications. Recent advances have focused ...

Using the fast dynamic load described in this Design Idea to test the transient response of a power system can reveal many critical operating characteristics. The voltage deviation resulting from a ...

Two of the most recent trends in high performance DPA (Distributed Power Architecture) systems are the need for extremely fast transient response and the usage of IBA (Intermediate Bus Architecture).

Modern engines are becoming highly complex, with several strongly interactive subsystems - - variable cam phasers on both intake and exhaust, along with various kinds of variable valve lift mechanisms ...

Natural gas has been the subject of growing interest as a low emissions alternative to conventional automotive engine fuels. The development of a control system for a very low emissions heavy-duty ...
