Internal operating voltages in electronic devices continue to decrease, but input-source voltages don't change. As the difference between input and output voltages increases, so does the improvement ...

An autotransformer is a transformer having part of its winding included in both the input and output circuit. A simple autotransformer connection is shown in Fig. 1. Note that because there is a ...

So I'm building a new HTPC. Currently mine doesn't have enough HP to do hi-def well enough for my tastes. Anyway, I find myself slot limited as in my mobo has SPDIF output but via a header which ...

Electronic systems often require multiple voltages to power the various internal circuits. Non-isolated regulators are a common and easy way to convert one voltage to another. Regulators typically ...
