In designing dc/dc converters, one of your options is the CMC (current-mode-control) method. PCMC (peak CMC) offers some well-known benefits as well as drawbacks. When compared with VMC (voltage-mode ...

João Geada, chief technologist at Ansys, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about device scaling, advanced packaging, increasing complexity and the growing role of AI. What follows are ...

Voltage and power integrity are becoming increasingly critical and challenging for chip designers and architects, regardless of which process technology they are using or which market they are ...

There are standard techniques to generate negative output voltages, and there are well-known approaches to dynamically adjust an output voltage. The missing link that I hope to address in this article ...

My last two columns covered the topic of voltage troubleshooting as it applies to electrical circuits. An important point to remember is that the majority of service problems are electrically based, ...

Download this article in PDF format. Many modern servers, as well as telecom and networking equipment, are populated with multiple voltage regulators on the system board to provide power to ICs or ...
