The figure shows a schematic for an oscillator amplitude-control servo system. The circuit creates a closed-loop system that supplies a fixed and adjustable peak-to-peak amplitude ac signal centered ...

This circle has the centre at the origin and a radius of 1 unit. The point P can move around the circumference of the circle. At point P the \(x\)-coordinate is \(\cos{\theta}\) and the ...

A new type of power-conversion topologies known as "sine amplitude converters" is the driving force behind the high performance achieved by Vicor's line of voltage transformation modules (VTMs). The ...

Guest columnist Bob Marchetti senior manager of product marketing at Vicor describes how sine amplitude conversion techniques can be used to improve power efficiency of DC-DC converters. Most systems ...
