Driving Performance In GaN-Based USB-C Adapters And Chargers With EPR


With the announcement of the USB PD 3.1 standard [1], higher power levels of up to 240 W are enabled. Still, the wide output voltage range from 5 V to 48 V raises new challenges for the converter topologies currently in use. In this white paper, the combination of an AC-DC PFC boost and a DC-DC hybrid flyback (HFB) stage [2], also well known as asymmetrical half-bridge flyback topology, is prop... » read more

Next-Generation Sustainability Gets More Challenging


The semiconductor industry has made major progress on reducing energy usage and water consumption, and effectively abating its emissions, as companies made sustainability a core requirement in their design of new processes and tools. But it’s about to get considerably harder. That means more opportunities to add value with innovative technologies, and also more need for collaboration. Next... » read more
