The Easy Way to Convert Negative Voltages to Positive

Frederik Dostal, Subject Matter Expert for Power Management, Analog Devices

­  Generating negative voltages from a positive supply rail is pretty standard. There are many applications that need a negative voltage, for example, in the power industry they turn MOSFETs on and off more efficiently. There are fewer applications where a positive voltage must be generated from a ne

Flexibility and Scalability are Key to EV Charger Designs

Wayne Liang, senior segment engineer, E-Mobility business, Microchip Technology

  As many countries rush to meet their deadlines to stop the selling of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, they are currently realizing that they are not where they need to be in terms of EV infrastructure. Some potential EV buyers know that there is a lack of charging points, and are delaying the
