- Editor’s comment: Chips with everything… (03/05/2021)
  
  Ongoing global semiconductor chip shortages – precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic – threaten to impact every sector. The proliferation of embedded & ‘smart’ technologies over recent years has seen electronics become increasingly integral to virtually every type of product or device.
- EPDT May 2021 issue (inc. Lighting & Rail features + PXI for T&M supplement) now available online (02/05/2021)
  
  This month’s issue, now available in print or digital editions, contains features on Lighting technologies & Rail applications, plus editorial discussing the impact of ongoing semiconductor chip shortages and EPDT's annual PXI for Test & Measurement supplement.
- Keeping EMI from LED drivers under control (01/05/2021)
  
  Nearly all new lighting applications today now use LEDs. In a relatively short amount of time, they have become established as the clear preferred choice of illumination. However, in most applications, an LED cannot fulfill the required functionality by itself: it must be operated with a suitable power supply.
- Laying the groundwork for rail electrification (01/05/2021)
  
  Network Rail recently laid out its preliminary plans to decarbonise the rail network, which involved finding alternatives to diesel trains & electrifying more than 7,000 miles of track by 2050. The addition of more electric trains to tracks, alongside greater electrification, will increase the need for robust electrical infrastructure to support the network in a clean & safe way.
- Regenerative power supplies & electronic loads to meet EV battery recycling demand (27/04/2021)
