Aligned with PSMA’s mission to support education and collaboration across the power electronics community, our technical committees develop initiatives for engineers to share practical knowledge. Notably, the PSMA Magnetics Workshop
This decade has seen the restructuring of the global semiconductor supply chain. Market forces such as the race for electric vehicles (EVs) and artificial intelligence (AI) have clashed with geopolitical
The title of this quarter’s column may sound a little obvious and patronizing, but the objective is to dig into what efficiency really means from several dimensions when observed through
Power electronics equipment are complex assemblies. Most of the components we use are off-the-shelf, standard parts: transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, capacitors, resistors, and connectors. For low-volume production power converters or
When we start a power electronics project, we start out working conceptually. Our first choices are usually the topology and control methods. Then we might start working out the protection,
Unless you are just returning from your extended vacation on a different planet, you have likely heard a thing or two about the exponential projections for penetration of AI applications
Previous columns have evaluated fast-moving trends and technologies around the energy transition, reaching a conclusion in the last column that the incredible push to rapidly build many hundreds of new
In the last three years since ChatGPT launched, interest in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and especially in LLMs (Large Language Models) has exploded—driving, if not innovation, plenty of buzz and the
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just a future trend; it is a current disruptor transforming how power is generated, delivered, and used. In power electronics, AI’s impact accelerates innovation while
