The rate at which technology is advancing is unimaginable. From electronics to computer chips, technological progress is surprisingly high. Due to this, we find ourselves surrounded by gadgets, ...

In this article, power management is defined simply as the management of all power sources (including DC-DC Converter, LDOs, etc.) on the circuit board. Power management includes the following ...

Many features come together to make a useful wearable device. Form factor, design, and energy efficiency are essential to realizing devices that not only do their job correctly but are also ...

Higher levels of integration and ingenious power-conversion architectures are enabling simpler, denser, more efficient ...

Aiming to simplify power-management circuit design, International Rectifier has expanded its online design tools and added three reference designs for its POWIR+ chipsets. The first series of POWIR+ ...

As cellular phones become more complex, more power is consumed by both active and standby systems. Consequently, power-management design for portable wireless devices imposes new challenges in the ...

Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) use machine learning (ML) to predict load patterns and adjust voltage in real time to transform how devices manage energy. These systems extend battery ...

Solenoids have long been used to control valves and fluid flow. A typical solenoid converts an input voltage to magnetic force that attracts a moveable core which, in turn, opens or closes a valve.

A two-stage power management and storage system could dramatically improve the efficiency of triboelectric generators that harvest energy from irregular human motion such as walking, running or finger ...
