The new DoE Level VI efficiency standard (DoE 10 CFR Part 430) mandates that no-load power consumption does not exceed 0.100W for external power supplies (EPSs) ranging from 1W to ≤49W, and does not ...

Most seasoned embedded designers are aware that many of the techniques listed in Part 1 can be addressed in the operating system instead of having the design team “reinvent the wheel” with each new ...

Need to do some real fine power consumption measurements? [Gero Müller] was in that exact situation, and wasn’t happy with the expensive off-the-shelf tools for doing the job. Thus, he built his own.

Designers frequently turn to advanced power reduction techniques such as power shutoff (PSO) and multi-supply-voltage (MSV) architectures to help reach power consumption targets in advanced technology ...

A new family of Rohde & Schwarz power analyzers is now available in three models to meet all requirements for measuring voltage, current, power and total harmonic distortion on both DC and AC sources.

Debuting as a team, the MCP3909 energy-measurement IC and 3-phase energy-meter reference design forecast faster development times for power-meter applications. The chip integrates 16-bit delta-sigma a ...
