My first experience with soakage was a pleasant one, not like my first experience measuring a power transformer. When I was a teenager, a local “ham” operator (a mid-twentieth century term for an ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

Pulse-skipping mode (PSM) is widely used as a method for improving the efficiency at light load. For this example, we will use the TPS65290 which has adopted PSM. A simplified block diagram and an ...
