Power supplies must comply with safety standards to protect equipment end-users and operators.

Not every thermal challenge involves hot or wet environments, as we recently found out when GlobTek provided a power supply solution to serve an RFID application.

When you consider that a power supply is essential to electronics, it is amazing that so many designers wait until the end of the design process to design-in their power source. This is especially amazing today given that so much can be gained in system performance and efficiency, regardless the core technology or end product, by properly integrating the power supply into it.
