This paper presents an ac-dc LED driver that consists of two-parallel inverted buck converters. To buffer the twice-line-frequency energy, one converter (also known as a floating converter) conveys energy to storage capacitor, simultaneously performing power factor correction. The other regulates current maintain constant brightness in LEDs for reducing light flicker low-risk levels. proposed architecture reduces voltage stress and size enabling use film capacitor instead electrolytic...

GDDR memory has consistently maintained a leading position in delivering high performance: necessary for applications such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, and data centers. However, achieving an elevated I/O bandwidth, beyond the latest 27Gb/s GDDR6 [1], presents significant challenges ensuring sufficient link budget. One solution is using multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signaling. In GDDR7 specification, single-ended PAM3 signaling used to achieve higher rates it can...
