		<title><![CDATA[Decoupling Fast Switching Loads in Distributed Power Applications]]></title>
		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=115359]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[This paper provides some insight into the relationship between POL ratings and the fast dynamic load requirements of data processors. Capacitor manufacturers provide data describing the characteristics of their parts in fast load switching environments, but less information is available to a system designer about the relationship of those parts...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=114325]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[Power supply design has traditionally been a two dimensional challenge involving an energy handling section, usually called a "power train or "plant", and a control section that electrically manipulates the switches of the plant to achieve high efficiency voltage conversion and regulation. Beyond that, miscellaneous housekeeping circuits perform a standard...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=114327]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[This paper is intended to provide a brief, qualitative overview of how a digital control system is implemented in a familiar analog environment, i.e. that of a straightforward, board-mounted DC/DC converter. Applying digital methods to the control of power converters, in particular board-mounted dc/dc converters, offers a rich set of...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[DC Power Supplies - Design in House or Buy Off-the-Shelf?]]></title>
		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=114324]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[This paper focuses on internal design and manufacture, of DC/DC converters and Purchasing off-the-shelf modules from merchant power supply companies. This paper splits these factors into two groups. The first group, referred to as cost factors, relate to the raw cost of the converter. The second group, designated experience factors,...]]></description>

		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=115358]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[Beat frequencies are defined as the sum and the difference of two different frequencies from nonlinear property in a system for example from frequency modulation. The frequency modulation exists in systems with switch-mode power supplies from certain configurations. This study is to discover the existence conditions that switch-mode power supplies...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Apparent Thermal Resistance of Board-Mounted "Brick" Converters]]></title>
		<link><![CDATA[http://jobfunctions.bnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=114328]]></link>
		<description><![CDATA[DC-DC converter modules, commonly called "bricks" are power-dissipating devices with conversion efficiencies ranging from roughly 80 to 96 %. Their successful application within computing, telecom, test and measurement or other apparatus depends upon system designers understanding their thermal characteristics. Thermal design information usually takes the form of thermal derating curves...]]></description>
