University of Toronto and Sendyne to Present Innovative Power Supply Design for Mobile Devices at the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference

March 3, 2014

New York, New York, March 4, 2014 – A joint collaboration between the University of Toronto and Sendyne Corp. has yielded a new circuit that enables a smaller, lighter battery and power subsystem for tablet PCs and other portable devices.

The volume occupied by the power supply circuit has been a limiting factor for miniaturization of the electronics in mobile devices. Current power supply designs occupy anywhere between 20% and 80% of the volume of such devices, depending on the application. A significant portion of this volume is determined by the size of inductors and capacitors used in such power supply circuits.</ … Read More → "University of Toronto and Sendyne to Present Innovative Power Supply Design for Mobile Devices at the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference"
