I am pleased to bring you this month’s author for RAQ on Planet Analog, Frederik Dostal [frederik.dostal@analog.com]. He studied microelectronics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

While simple voltage converters can generate a fixed output voltage from an input voltage, this behavior isn’t sufficient in certain applications. An example is the control of a voltage node that has ...

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 ...

Laser power conversion and photovoltaic systems represent a rapidly evolving field where optical energy is directly transformed into electrical power using specialised semiconductor devices. Recent ...

To meet the demanding requirements of high-voltage power management applications, Microchip Technology has introduced its 600V Gate Driver portfolio, featuring 12 devices available in half-bridge, ...

In this article we introduce a new class of DC-to-DC converters, an example of which is the LTC3336. It only consumes about 65nA of current in standby mode, making it ideal for battery-operated ...

For a comprehensive system solution, Microchip’s motor control and power conversion products can be used alongside the ...
