Properties of the Charge-Pump Voltage Splitter

Overview Though common in many of today's DC-DC energy converters, the charge-pump voltage converter is known mostly in its doubler and inverter configurations. This article focuses on the voltage-splitter configuration, which divides a given input voltage precisely by two. After a brief review of basic charge-pump principles, two applications will be covered: the efficient generation of a regulated 3.3V from two lithium cells and the efficient derivation of a 5V supply from 10V.

Word to get 'save as OpenDocument' add-on

By the end of the year, the open source project building the converters will move past simply opening documents and add the ability to save documents created in Word in the ODF format, said Brian Jones, a Microsoft Office program manager.

Computing giants crack down on PC power waste

These two components, working together, convert AC power from a wall socket to 12-volt DC power that a computer uses. Half the energy gets converted to heat or is dissipated in some other manner in the AC-to-DC conversion.

The greening of IT: Cooling costs

Usually, it comes in as AC, gets converted to DC to charge batteries, and then UPS regenerates AC, and the power supply changes it back to DC. We also run kit off direct current (DC). This combination of fresh air cooling and the use of DC mean BT...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
