In the past, when semiconductor and power-supply companies discussed the motivations for putting digital control in the loop, power management requirements were usually cited as the main justification ...

While DSPs are the primary controllers in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with power-factor correction (PFC), ac generation and battery management, microcontrollers serve secondary functions for ...

This white paper reinforces the notion that digital power supplies are here to stay and there has not been a better time to make the switch to digital. The AC-DC Reference Design from Microchip is a ...
