EDN's Best of Power: Components

By Staff -- EDN, May 15, 2008

Switching devices and power-control ICs and architectures are the glamour parts for power-supply subsystems, but components, including passives, switches, and isolators, are vital parts, and EDN readers know that they can make or break a power supply. Switches are particularly popular as companies continue to come up with novel approaches to turning power on and off.
