For those living before the invention of the transistor, the modern world must appear almost magical. Computers are everywhere now and are much more reliable, but there are other less obvious changes ...

Buck converters, as a fundamental class of DC–DC converters in power electronics, exhibit complex dynamical behaviours arising from their intrinsic switching operations. The interplay between ...

Another lifetime ago, and as a young engineer, I had to design a power conversion system. The input power came as raw electrical energy from a jet engine during flight. The output power was input to ...

DC to DC conversion has come a long way. What was once took an electromechanical vibrator and transformer has been reduced to a PC board the size of a largish postage stamp that can be had for a ...

Many of today's MP3 players, multimedia players, digital video recorders, and other portable electronic devices have found the micro hard disk drive to be the optimum device for memory storage ...
