Read about the latest power management trends
There are limitations to achieving more compact power supplies that can be overcome with switching properties, IC packaging, circuit design and integration innovations.
Innovative semiconductor design and packaging technologies are improving efficiencies in data centers as server power demands increase.
Semiconductor innovations enable us to interact with electric vehicles, renewable energy sources and other high-voltage systems safely and reliably.
As electronic systems become more dense and interconnected, reducing the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) becomes an increasingly critical system design need.
Battery management systems (BMS) have evolved with the widespread adoption of HEVs/EVs with subsystems that work together to improve safety and efficiency.
Minimizing quiescent current (IQ) is a key factor to reduce power consumption and manage battery life, but it comes with challenges.
