In any imaging system, the noise and ripple on the output of the high voltage supply are critical as they compromise the image quality. Any ripple present at the point of detection will degrade signal integrity and then become amplified before being analyzed and ultimately displayed. To achieve the best possible image quality, defining and managing this power source parameter is crucial to successfully implementing the system.

Power system designers today face intense pressure to raise conversion efficiency and save energy as they strive to deliver sustainably improved performance. One key to reaching greater efficiency is switched-mode power conversion.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) and with this landmark, it’s important to reflect on how the industry has evolved, and what key trends to watch out for at the show.
