Ideally, the power factor should be 1; then the load appears as a resistor to the AC source. However, in the real world, electrical loads not only cause distortions in AC current waveforms, but also ...

Understanding power factor (PF) is important because it gives us a clear understanding of the efficiency of an electrical system. Put simply, it’s the ratio of true power and apparent power, which ...

Detailed look at the Energy Exchanger architecture. The key role played by the fast voltage regulators. Evaluation of two different Energy Exchanger architectures: single-ended and fully differential.

A technical paper titled “Constable: Improving Performance and Power Efficiency by Safely Eliminating Load Instruction Execution” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich and Intel Corporation. This ...

Providing modern electronic devices with a diet of healthy power is not straightforward. Small AC-connected equipment often uses a capacitor-input filter following a half- or full-wave rectifier.
