To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...
This white paper focuses on isolated digital interfaces conforming to RS-485, which continues to be the industry’s workhorse standard for data transmission. The paper provides an overview of RS-485’s common-mode voltage range (CMVR) definition, and explains how isolating a transceiver’s signal and...
To convert the high innovation potential of digitalization into competitive advantage, it is essential to be in control of the exploding data volumes. For new, intelligent applications, it is often not enough to save the data delivered by digital sensors in data centres or a cloud. On applications and operating conditions,...

With the digital expansion over the past few decades, new requirements for data centers to store, transmit, and manage data of all sorts are reaching a critical level.
In this article, GE power discusses the path to improving efficiency as it applies to AC-DC power supplies (AC-DC front ends) within server equipment....
With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
Most organizations do not consider production test a top priority, but it is a necessity to prevent major quality issues in the products that represent the company brand in the hands of customers.
The costs, however, can be significant and are often greatly misunderstood, especially when there’s no easy way...

An integral part of modern RF/microwave circuit design is circuit simulation and evaluation in which scattering parameters (S-parameters) for each element of a system are utilized to predict the overall small signal performance as the elements are cascaded to form the entire system.
This paper describes...
In less than a decade, tens of billions of electronic devices will be connected to the Internet-of-Things (IoT), a vast infrastructure of smart products that represent tens of thousands of different applications. Each of us will typically interact with hundreds of devices every day in order to control and monitor systems...
As bandwidth requirements for applications such as wireless, wireline and medical/imaging processing continue to grow designers depend on the toolsets necessary to provide them with the real-time signal processing capabilities that are needed.
DSP and Network Processing Unit (NPU) devices, coupled with low cost,...
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices
using the complete system impractical.
Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently.
During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...
