In this column, I will be talking mainly to young power electronics engineers who will soon be graduating or have recently graduated. The need to decarbonize and electrify the world’s
The IEEE has recently published IEEE Std 2988-2024 IEEE Recommended Practice for Use and Functions of Virtual Synchronous Machines [1], developed by the IEEE Standard 2988 Virtual Synchronous Machines Working
This column was launched in the last issue of the IEEE Power Electronics Magazine to look holistically at the ongoing energy transition, driven by “exponential-technologies.” These are the areas where
The OPTIREG™ Power Management IC (PMIC) portfolio enables highly efficient voltage regulation, offering pre- and post-regulator architectures with DC/DC and linear regulators as well as trackers. In addition to the
In my previous column, Buckapalooza—Part I, I talked about how as an independent consultant I often design ac–dc power supplies for lower production volume applications using an off-the-shelf front-end power
