Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Processor-based systems place strenuous voltage regulation requirements on their power supply. In many instances, this ...

Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...

Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...

Recall from lecture that the total response is combination of the complementary solution and the particular solution. For harmonic excitation on a single-DOF system, this total response will be ...
