From the Editor
In this issue, we cover why the boundary conditions of the complete electro-mechanical systems should be mapped to achieve maximum efficiency, as well as the benefits of adding microconverters to photovoltaic systems. We also feature products that will help you squeeze more efficiency into your designs including: Wide-input-V PoL converters that feature an iLGA package, a buck converter that suits multimode PAs, 3-W converters that come in an ST package, Compact 200-W supplies that suit medical and ITE apps, and much more!

Step-motor-control algorithms for efficiency
|
Modern motor control systems are challenged to work in a number of adverse environments and the classical solution's total efficiency is usually limited by the worst-case conditions encountered by the overall system. Adaptive control algorithms are essential to extract the full efficiency of the optimized electromechanical system.

Microconverter in solar photovoltaic systems for residential applications: a cost-to-benefit comparison
|
Even during tough economic times solar installations continue to accelerate. In a recent iSuppli report (http://tiny.cc/qg0q9) Germany is expected to set a new installation record of 6.6 GW. Another record of 9.5 GW for 2011 is predicted, even in the face of reducing the feed-in tariff (FIT) later this year.
