As we increasingly use electronic devices to direct our daily lives, so grows n
a
our dependence on reliable energy sources to power them. Because modern
electronic systems demand steady, efficient, reliable DC voltage sources—often
at a sub-1V level—commercial AC lines, batteries, and other common resources
DC Power Supplies
no longer suffice. New technologies also require intricate techniques to protect
against natural and manmade disasters. Still, despite its importance, practical PD
information on this critical subject remains hard to find. rC
