Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

Have you ever heard of topological insulators? These are exotic materials where electricity flows only on the surface with very little loss. Now, according to IEEE Spectrum, scientists at Harvard have ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Silicon transistors, which are used to amplify and switch signals, are a critical component in most electronic devices, from smartphones to automobiles. But silicon semiconductor ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...
