While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

This year at APEC 2014 I saw many interesting trends. One of the key ones was the increased use of State machine control for Digital power. I saw this begin last year at APEC and now it is in full ...

The digital control of switching power supplies is firmly established in everything from EV onboard chargers (OBCs) to power-supply units (PSUs) in AI data centers to renewable-energy systems that ...

This white paper reinforces the notion that digital power supplies are here to stay and there has not been a better time to make the switch to digital. The AC-DC Reference Design from Microchip is a ...

Discrete dynamics systems; discrete models of continuous systems feedback and digital controllers; analog-digital conversion; digital control design including PID, lead-lag, deadbeat, and model ...

Upgrading automation systems can often extend the life of power generation facilities by decades while reducing downtime, improving operations, and reducing required maintenance. The Maggotty plant in ...

It’s 2020, and the global standards for building electrical systems are still based on 70-year-old Thomas Edison era electromechanical architecture that is outdated, prone to malfunction, and lacking ...
