WEBCAST. |
| The Dominance of AC-DC Products Since early 2004, when digital power first burst onto the commercial scene, digital ac-dc power supplies have far outnumbered digital dc-dc converters. When looking at 177 new “digital” product announcements from 14 power suppliers between January 2003 and June 2007, only 21% were dc-dc converters, while 79% were ac-dc power supplies. |
|
| Energy Harvesting Technologies Breaking Through As the response to the recent nanoPower Forum (nPF) attests, opportunities for energy harvesting are starting to break out of emerging status and into the mainstream. Here’s a brief nPF review of the industry, research and commercial activity and the technologies making inroads. |
