- Automotive 4.0 – the new revolution? (05/10/2016)
  
  The automotive industry is often misunderstood as being solely associated with cars and related applications.
- Maximising safety in Li-ion battery implementations (05/09/2016)
  
  Projections from the analysts at Allied Market Research suggest that the worldwide lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery market will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 11% between now and 2022.
- The growing German battery industry offers many opportunities (01/08/2016)
  
  Germany’s medtech sector is by far the largest in Europe and the third largest in the world.
- Delivering system-wide benefits through phase shift DC/DC conversion (26/05/2016)
  
  Synchronised step-down regulation for Point-of-Load conversion offers many benefits, inducing reduced RMS current and an overall reduction in noise.
- Sussing the buck (26/05/2016)
  
  As demands for longer run time and higher efficiency escalate, electrical system design engineers are facing the difficulties of developing better and more efficient power supplies that can meet the requirements and standards in the industry.
- Reducing idle losses while meeting IEC 62368-1 (26/04/2016)
  
  Manufacturers today are under pressure to improve energy efficiency and finding ways to reduce system losses when the system is idle (no load) has become an important consideration. In equipment ranging from televisions and computers to microwave ovens, fridges, air conditioning systems and printers, every milliwatt saved when the device is waiting idle between operations is vital.
- Better digital power system management (22/04/2016)
  
  Though power management is critical to the reliable operation of modern electronic systems, few regulators have the means for direct configuration or monitoring of key parameters. As a result, power designers who want digital control must use a combination of sequencers, microcontrollers and voltage supervisors.
- Updates to legislation drive external power supplies’ efficiency (03/02/2016)
  
  As concern for carbon emissions grows, most countries have introduced legislation to regulate the efficiency of external power supplies (EPS), so that as little as possible of our natural resource is wasted.
- Achieve higher efficiency and reliability in your power supply (03/02/2016)
  
  The LinkSwitch family of ICs is a range of offline switchers designed for applications where output power is typically below 15W.
