Latest Development In AC-DC Converters

 What is an AC/DC Converter?


The AC-DC power supply is a device that is used to convert AC power input into DC output. The growing demand for power supply in medical and healthcare devices and the rising demand for energy-efficient devices drive the AC-DC converters market growth. Further, technological advancements in the power supply devices and development are also triggering the demand for the AC-DC converters market.

Electric power is transported on wires either as a direct current (DC) flowing in one direction at a non-oscillating constant voltage, or as an alternating current (AC) flowing backwards and forwards due to an oscillating voltage. AC is the dominant method of transporting power because it offers several advantages over DC, including lower distribution costs and simple way of converting between voltage levels thanks to the invention of the transformer. 

Top 10 Companies are : 

Delta Electronics, Inc., Diodes Incorporated, Infineon Technologies AG, Microchip Technology Inc., Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd, ROHM CO., LTD., STMicroelectronics, TDK Corporation, Vicor Corporation, XP Power

AC power that is sent at high voltage over long distances and then converted down to a lower voltage is a more efficient and safer source of power in homes. Depending on the location, high voltage can range from 4kV (kilo-volts) up to 765kV. As a reminder, AC mains in homes range from 110V to 250V, depending on which part of the world you live it. In the U.S., the typical AC main line is 120V.

Why is an AC-DC Converter required?

Electricity supplied to homes is typically 100V or 200V AC.
On the other hand, most electronic devices operate at 3.3V or 5V DC.
Consequently, it is necessary to convert from AC to DC voltage.


Why is an AC-DC Converter necessary?

AC to DC Converters are one of the most important in power electronics because there are lot of real applications are based on this conversions. The AC current to dc current conversion process is known as rectification.

Substrate-like PCB (PCB) Design Guide, By Leading PCB Manufacture

Image
Substrate-like PCBs (SLPs) are recognized to be the next evolution of high-end high-density interconnector PCBs with higher density. Substrate-like PCB technology will substitute the previous HDI PCB technology. It is still a kind of rigid PCB, but its manufacture process is closer to semiconductor stipulations. Currently, the Substrate-like PCB has a necessity of line width/ line spacing of 30/30UM but its manufacturing procedure, raw materials, and design plan have not yet been determined.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are made of two aluminum foils and a paper soaked in electrolyte.

  By Shruti Vispute, Industry Analyst What Is The Use of  Aluminum electrolytic capacitors ? The electrolytic capacitor is used where high levels of capacitance are required, but to provide long reliable service it must be used correctly and within its specifications. !!  Download FREE PDF Sample | Click Here  !! Aluminum  capacitors  are polarized  electrolytic capacitors  whose  anode   electrode  (+) is made of a pure  aluminum  foil with an  etched  surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of  aluminum  oxide  by  anodization  that acts as the  dielectric  of the capacitor. A non-solid  electrolyte  covers the rough surface of the oxide layer, serving in principle as the second electrode ( cathode ) (-) of the capacitor. A second aluminum foil called “cathode foil” contacts the electrolyte and serves as the electrical connection to the negative terminal of the capacitor.
