A power converter’s efficiency (AC-DC, DC-DC, or Buck) is determined by comparing its input power to its output power. More precisely, the efficiency of the converter is calculated by dividing the ...

When it comes to PC building, one of the most critical components is the PSU or Power Supply Unit. Depending on how much each piece of connected hardware, e.g., CPU, GPU, RAM, and others, you will ...

A directional coupler is used to sample a small amount of input signal power for measurement purposes. Port 1 is the input port; port 2 is the output port; port 3 is the coupled port; port 4 is the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Bob Zollo, Product Planner, Power and Energy Division, Keysight Technologies Efficient use of energy is a key factor in ...

To ensure the stability of dc-dc converters, most power-system designers adhere to the common rule that input source impedance should be small compared to the converter's input impedance. Not all ...
