Usage Of Pulse-Edge Transformer In Secondary Controlled Flyback Applications


The pulse-edge transformer (PET) is used as a medium to transmit PWM pulses from a secondary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxS, to a primary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxP, for AC/DC applications targeting the power adapter segment. This article explains the advantages of PET over the conventional opto-coupler based approach. Click here to read more. » read more

The Race Toward Quantum Advantage


Quantum computing has yet to show an advantage over conventional computing, but huge sums of money are betting it will. So far that hasn't happened. Early quantum computers were created in the mid-1990s after mathematicians had demonstrated the effectiveness of applying quantum approaches to some problems. At that stage they were simulated using conventional computing, but it started the rac... » read more
