A distributor is an immensely valuable resource to a manufacturer because of several key factors. First and foremost a distributor brings a detailed relevant knowledge of the market to the table. The ability to key in on the active market is something that manufacturers lack since their core competency is in making the products and not how to sell it. The second half of what a distributor brings to the table is the contacts and relationships that they have formed over the years.

In the first half of switching cycle, the circuit capacitor C1 is charged to the input voltage and in the second half of the switching cycle the voltage is then inverted and applied to a capacitor C2 and load. This leads to the input voltage to be negative of the output voltage and defined as the Duty cycle which is the ratio of charging time of a capacitor C1 to the entire switch cycle time. This is almost always because 50% is the yield of the optimal charge transfer efficiency. The capacitor C1 has to supply only a small amount of charge during the time period of transient conditions startup to the output capacitor on each switch cycle and on steady state conditions.

This information was revealed through a government report. According to the Government Accountability Office, the Pentagon, along with several other departments, are in desperate need of having their “legacy systems” urgently replaced. The government report suggested that taxpayers spend around $61 billion per year just to maintain these ageing technologies.
