The driver is the increased costs of treating a growing population and the need for greater efficiency.14/02/2012/power-electronics-technology/advanced-technology-ics-cut-all-current-paths-to-achieve-zero-power-drain-in-standby/39695/With standby power consumption representing a significant proportion of electricity consumed around the world, standards for no load performance are tightening. For example, the European Commission's Energy-related Products (ErP) Directive Tier 1, which permitted a no load consumption of 0.5W for products manufactured in 2010, was tightened in 2011 to 300mW for adapters with an output less than 51W.24/01/2012/power-electronics-technology/gallium-nitride-based-devices-set-to-bring-substantial-boost-to-power-efficiency/38902/Gallium nitride has long been known to have useful properties when it comes to electronic components.

Thus, the decision was made to adopt substantial demand side measures.27/09/2011/power-electronics-technology/facebooks-new-data-centre-is-home-to-numerous-innovations/35973/It is reasonable to assume that anyone reading this article has dealings, in some way, with a data centre. Whether it's through the use of social networking sites, buying goods and services online or accessing 'cloud computing', the data centre is an integral part of our lives.09/08/2011/power-electronics-technology/the-best-route-to-avoiding-counterfeit-electronics/35246/It's been discussed and analysed for years, yet there does not seem to be an end in sight for the trade in counterfeit electronics.11/07/2011/power-electronics-technology/wireless-data-to-be-followed-by-wireless-power/33935/We may have seen a wireless revolution in the last decade, but it has been all about wireless data. But when it comes to transmitting power, cables are still vital. That could soon change, however, with wireless power transmission on the agenda for a host of electronic products.24/05/2011/power-electronics-technology/cooling-power-supplies/32911/A comparative analysis of power supply single speed air mover and an entire electronics enclosure system fan.06/04/2011/power-electronics-technology/simplifying-flyback-design/30884/Flyback controller eliminates optocoupler and simplifies design. By Bruce Haug.25/01/2011/power-electronics-technology/digital-power-techniques-deliver-benefits-throughout-a-psus-lifecycle/27896/By Patrick Le Fevre, director marketing and Communication, Ericsson Power Modules17/09/2010/power-electronics-technology/can-david-take-on-goliath/27594/Can SMEs compete against larger electronics organisations in the defence sector?13/09/2010/power-electronics-technology/understanding-dc-coupled-and-dc-blocked-power-sensors-and-how-your-choice-of-sensor-would-impact-measurement-accuracy/27448/Understanding power meter and sensor key specifications is vital for selecting the right equipment for power measurements. An often overlooked area is the DC or AC coupling characteristic of the power sensor. Choosing the wrong type of sensor can result in measurement inaccuracy and – or even worse, damage to the power sensor. This article compares the DC-coupled sensors to AC-coupled ones (also known as "DC-blocked" sensors). Several application examples are included to illustrate the key differences. The article concludes with choices of both DC-coupled and DC-blocked sensors from Agilent Technologies to suit the user's application requirements. 06/09/2010/power-electronics-technology/flower-of-scotland-uk-electronics-scotland/26594/Scottish electronics has transformed into a range of competent, world class companies. 26/07/2010/power-electronics-technology/in-good-shape-uk-electronics-overview/26590/More successful than it appears, the UK's electronics sector is holding its own. 26/07/2010/power-electronics-technology/making-a-difference-uk-electronics-skills/26596/The mission to improve UK electronics skills is making progress. 26/07/2010/power-electronics-technology/the-right-environment-uk-electronics-wales/26598/Stable niche electronics sector prospering in Wales. 26/07/2010/power-electronics-technology/powering-efficiency/26284/How a flyback controller can achieve 90% efficiency and reduce component count.12/07/2010/power-electronics-technology/packing-potential-a-critical-aspect-of-the-semiconductor-design-process/25884/The delicate pieces of silicon which enable the functionality we take for granted have to be encapsulated in some way or another and the signals they process routed to and from the host pcb.21/06/2010/power-electronics-technology/the-inside-track-designs-on-distribution/25891/How design in distributors can deliver solutions to their customers.21/06/2010/power-electronics-technology/special-report-start-ups-and-spin-offs/25516/Being a semiconductor start up involves more than just chip design.07/06/2010/power-electronics-technology/plug-and-play-directives-and-standards/25195/Does your 'previously approved' power supply meet UK plug pin requirements?24/05/2010/power-electronics-technology/power-to-the-people/24878/Research by UK companies is looking to develop higher capacity batteries.10/05/2010/power-electronics-technology/the-next-generation-of-low-vsubcesat-sub-bipolar-transistors/24621/Major improvements in saturation resistance and power choice have very much expanded the application horizon of medium-power bipolar transistors in recent years. BISS 4, the latest generation of SMD-packaged medium-power transistors from NXP, is convincing evidence of the capabilities of bipolar transistor technology — to serve switching applications with more power and fewer switching losses, and to create new possibilities of application. 27/04/2010/power-electronics-technology/looking-for-signs/24267/With times tough for distributors, what is the best road to take?13/04/2010
