Flex Power Modules Unveils BMR490 DC‑DC Converter with Active Current Sharing for High‑Performance Data Centers

ROHM today announced the BD71850MWV, a highly integrated power‑management IC (PMIC) engineered specifically for NXP Semiconductors’ i.MX 8M Nano family. The PMIC delivers 95 % efficient DC/DC conversion, integrates every power rail required by the processor, and supports DDR and system‑IO supplies—a

Yann LeCun, Facebooks Chief AI Scientist, cautioned in his NeurIPS keynote that focusing on exotic hardware is a misstep. He surveyed the evolution of specialized chips for neural networks, shared Facebooks current work, and offered predictions for deep‑learning hardware. Ancient history LeCun, a pi

Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables the delivery of DC power—up to 90 W—across standard Ethernet cables over distances of up to 100 meters. This technology combines power and data into a single cabling infrastructure, simplifying installations in commercial, industrial, and enterprise environments. Ed

Leakage current can significantly contribute to power dissipation, especially as devices scale to lower threshold voltages. Below we examine the six most common leakage paths in modern MOS transistors. In short‑channel MOSFETs, the following leakage mechanisms dominate: Reverse‑bias p‑n junction le
