IR's Paul Schimel explains how power factor correction (PFC) allows a piece of electronics to draw higher line power. A good friend of mine in the professional audio business recently said that audio ...

Power factor correction (PFC) is crucial for improving the efficiency of and reducing the electrical noise from switched-mode power supplies and other power sources. For this reason, PFC solutions are ...

Power factor correction (PFC) converters play a pivotal role in modern power electronics by ensuring an optimised alignment between the input current and the supply voltage. This alignment enhances ...

Poor power factor associated with electronic power conversion equipment is caused by nonlinear circuit elements. In most off-line power supplies, the ac/dc front end consists of a bridge rectifier ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

A merged-structure device combining pn junction and Schottky operating modes in one diode addresses design challenges in single-phase boost converters while reducing component and system costs.
