An improved SPICE model has been developed by Fairchild engineers for the simulation of trench power devices using the BSIM3 MOSFET model. The new model architecture seeks to eliminate shortcomings in ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...

Characterizing a design’s ability to reject/attenuate supply noise is critical, because such noise can appear as various errors Designs ranging from transceiver chips for smartphones to radar ...

Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...
