SEPIC-Fed Buck Topology Boosts Performance in Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters
06 March 2014
A point-of-load (POL) converter is a step-down dc-dc converter designed to supply constant voltage to a load, (almost) independently of load currents. It has become a popular solution for a wide variety of applications: from networking and telecommunications to data-communications and computing applications. By Fariborz Musavi, Director of Engineering, CUI The use [...]

200A/600V Silicon Carbide Hybrid Intelligent Power Module for Servo-Inverter Applications
03 March 2014
In Multi-Axis Servo-Drives several servo amplifiers are operating from a common DC-link power supply. Mechanically those servo amplifiers usually are mounted in a so called “book-shelf-arrangement” in a common mechanical rack. This specific construction principle is providing a limited space at each inverter’s backside for cooling the power semiconductors. By E.Thal, Mitsubishi [...]
