Designing an application to support a wide input voltage and battery voltage
It can be challenging for engineers to design applications using rechargeable batteries that provide the best charging experience for consumers when different projects have different battery-charging needs. Using a different battery charger for every application increases design time because you have to redesign, debug and requalify every new circuit.

Powering Sensitive ADC Designs with the TPS62913 Low-Ripple and Low-Noise Buck Converter
High speed analog to digital converters are notoriously sensitive to power supply noise. The most common solution to minimize that noise is to use linear power supplies, or a switch mode power supply (SMPS) from the main bus rail followed by a low droput regulator.
Current transducers from Danisense selected for APS-U
Danisense has announced that its custom commercial DCCT current transducers have been selected for the APS Upgrade multi-bend acromat storage ring of Argonne National Laboratory in USA.
Wide bandgap semiconductors: GaN or SiC?
With wide bandgap semiconductors like Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) growing in popularity, it begs the question: GaN or SiC?
