The trend is clear: The Power Supply industry is starting to accept full-digital control of Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) as a viable control technology. The advantages this trend brings are ...

PWM relays allow engineers to go beyond simple "on-off" control to realize significant power savings and reduced heat ...

A pulse width modulator (PWM) controller from Microchip Technology allows the introduction of digital control into analog power-supply designs while providing high-speed PWM operation. Designed for ...

The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...
