Powering modern applications requires high currents, precise transient control, and a flexible voltage set-up. In particular, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) power specifications often come with rigid requirements regarding output voltage (VOUT) accuracy, where the absolute VOUT accuracy must be around ±1.5%,regardless of temperature variations and aging. Some manufacturers’ load regulation s...

Powering the core rails of high-end field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) requires high current as well as precise transient control. In recent years, the rapid advancements in FPGAs, ASICs, and related systems have necessitated significant updates to power delivery regulations to address the increased complexity. These designs demand a delicat...

The increasing demand across telecommunication systems, data storage, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) has driven the evolving complexity and requirements of power delivery, particularly for voltage regulators (VRs). Most areas of VR applications require a balance between efficiency, I/O voltage range, voltage tolerance, and size. It is crucial to meet the demands of FPGA power rails whi...

In the fast-paced world of electronics, the demand for efficient and compact power solutions is ever-growing. As technology advances, engineers are constantly seeking ways to simplify design, reduce board space, and expedite the development process. MPS meets these demands by offering the widest portfolio of power modules on the market. These devices integrate the power stage, control loop, and in...

Powering field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) represents a challenge for power engineers due to their increasing number of logic cells, which increases complexity. In addition, these semiconductor devices are highly configurable, allowing designers to define the clock and phase-locked loop (PLL) frequencies, as well as configure the logic elements within them. Furthermore, defining the power con...

Data traffic is the center of modern life, with any mobile phone app nowadays requiring tens of hundreds of megabytes for installation packages. When several software updates are made, it is necessary to be connected to Wi-Fi. Loading a page while online shopping consumes several megabytes of traffic to load a single page, and video calls are prone to freeze if the Internet speed is not fast enoug...

The electrical appliances we use in our daily lives — from lights to computers — typically go through a shutdown process when they turn off. Power supplies require stable shutdown processes that can control for unexpected overshoot. In a stable shutdown process, the power supply smoothly drops the input voltage (VIN) to 0V. For a stable shutdown, there should a steady VIN drop, no negative output...

As we navigate the reality of COVID-19, in-person interactions have become less commonplace. Thus, with the latest wave of digitalization and informatization that embraces countless new technologies, our access to the internet has become a vital means of accurate, real-time socialization and communication. Optical communication sends signals in the form of light. These signals have been used to b...

In recent years, the artificial intelligence (AI) and big data industries have rapidly innovated and developed 5G communication technologies, Internet of Everything (IoE), and the intelligent world. For cloud computing applications in particular, the demand for quick data processing across datacenters and private servers has reached unprecedented heights. To meet future demands for these applicati...
