Converters are one of the most simplistic and necessary devices in modern electronics. As their name implies, converters are meant to convert a given value to a target value. This functionality is vital for any system where connected devices may not have specifications that perfectly match one another, and they can be implemented in smartphones, smart trackers that can quickly communicate location...

Signal transmissions are everywhere. In industrial applications, such as electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and automation systems with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), there is a high voltage (up to several kV) that can be dangerous to the human body. This type of hazardous voltage can also pass through the signal line, which can cause signal interference and could eventually destroy t...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more ubiquitous each day, with plenty of countrywide and global incentives to make these vehicles more cost-effective for consumers (see Figure 1). This has resulted in more than 13 million electrified vehicle sales in 2023, which is a greater than 30% increase for battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) when compared to the ...
