Low-power temperature sensor could turn wearables into “unawareables”
Near-zero-power consumption sensor from University of California opens up the possibility of energy-harvesting devices. The sensor, developed by a team led by Patrick Mercier of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego, works by minimising power consumption in two domains: the current source of the device and the conversion of

Will battery boost benefit Britain?
The UK government’s decision to invest £246m in the development of battery technology puts energy storage at the heart of its industrial strategy. The so-called Faraday Challenge – unveiled this week (Monday 24th July) by business secretary Greg Clark – will consist of three phases: an initial EPSRC led competition aimed at identifying key technologies, a second phase

Quasi-Resonant Switching Power Supply ICs
Here is a look back of the LC5500 series, a Sanken product, that acts as a switching power supply IC using quasi-resonant topology. This device is intended to be employed for input capacitorless applications, and making it possible for systems to comply with the harmonics standard (IEC61000-3-2 class C). It incorporates separate controller and
