In many switching power converters, rectifier diodes are used to obtain the DC output voltage. The conduction loss of a diode rectifier contributes significantly to the overall power loss, especially for low-voltage, high-current converter applications. The conduction loss of a rectifying diode is given by the product...

Almost every switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs an EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) input filter to suppress any disturbances of the SMPS on the power lines. This requirement having an input filter in the design ensures that no negative effect will occur in other parts of the systems connected to the power lines....

Because today’s high-speed, high-density backplane and I/O interconnects are pushing speeds well beyond 10 Gbps, accurate simulation of such systems requires the inclusion of long bit patterns, jitter, equalization, and crosstalk. To include these criteria and increase simulation speed, digital designers are migrating...
