Submit Technical Papers
PowerPulse.net Technical Paper Author's Guidelines
It is strongly suggested that topics be discussed and agreed upon with the PowerPulse editor prior to writing any feature articles. An editorial calendar (PDF) is available as a guideline of the types of subject matter included in PowerPulse. The editorial calendar is only a minimum guideline for each issue; additional topics will be included, as they become available for publication.
All material should be focused on an aspect of power electronics. Acceptable areas of discussion include: components, sub-systems, system architectures, topologies, performance measurement and specifications, industry standards, and so on. Consult the current Editorial Calendar for a more complete listing of typical subject matter. Articles are expected to be practical and applications oriented. Theoretical, historical and especially blatantly promotional articles are not accepted for publication.
Because PowerPulse is published as an e-zine, articles can include complex elements that are not accepted by print publications. Computer 'attachments' such as downloadable Spice models of components, lengthy attachments such as an extended 'boilerplate' specification layout, animated illustrations, or other 'support' data can be included as enhancements to basic PowerPulse articles. This is a new media and provides authors with exciting opportunities for creativity.
The preferred format for article submissions is a Microsoft Word file with any accompanying illustrations as separate 'gif' or 'jpg' files. Computer files of articles can be submitted on disk or via e-mail. Please consult the editor or publisher regarding the usability of other file formats. Color illustrations are preferred.
As a general guideline, feature articles should run 1,200 to 1,500 words, with 4 to 6 accompanying illustrations. Contact the editor if your article varies from these suggested limits. Complex illustrations will be included as 'thumbnails' in the 'html' version of the article, with a link provided to view the illustration in full size.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
