Using Constant Current Control For Metal Purification
In the vast world of power supply applications, we can identify two main categories for regulating the power applied to the load. The first being 'constant voltage', where the control loop maintains a constant voltage to varying load current demands and the second, 'constant current' where the current is maintained constant to vary the voltage applied to the load.

Shrinking a Power Supply and the Challenge to Maintain High Reliability
In the last few years, as the technology of power supplies has changed we have seen tremendous improvements in the power density of solutions being offered by many leading companies. This is in direct response to customer demands of smaller solutions, lower cost and increased reliability. However, as you reduce the size of your power supply you need to ensure that component temperatures are kept low, or run the risk of reduced reliability. This paper will look at the challenges facing a power supply designer and how we can achieve this.
