The advantages offered by a synchronous buck or boost topology can also be applied to a buck-boost topology, where the converter’s output voltage falls within its input range. In this case, a ...

The IRDCSYN2 reference design board for the IR1176 application-specific synchronous rectification IC is rated at 3.3 Vdc and 20A with an efficiency of 90%. The reference design includes a fully ...

Power-supply design becomes complicated when you’re faced with multiple conflicting specifications. One example is the design of a double-data-rate (DDR) memory supply for an automotive environment.

Solid Edge with synchronous technology is a history-free feature-based CAD system that combines the speed and flexibility of explicit modeling with parametric design. Included is part and assembly ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

The synchronous vs. asynchronous design debate erupts every now and then, usually when a vocal minority swears by asynchronous design, often claiming that asynchronous design delivers higher ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

Like a cross between traditional belting and chain, timing belts include a main body and engaging surfaces — a.k.a. teeth. They're used to synchronize motion on everything from copiers to conveyors.
