Abstract: An electromagnetic shield comprising an electrically conductive frame for establishing electrical contact between a chassis wall and an expansion card mounting bracket. The frame has a plurality of spring fingers interconnected about a perimeter of a central opening in the frame, wherein each spring finger defines a central axis that extends outwardly away from the central opening. The frame may include a substantially planar portion adjacent the central opening in the frame, wherein the plurality of spring fingers incline along the central axis to extend out of the plane defined by the substantially planar portion. The incline of the spring fingers allows a mounting bracket to slide laterally without jamming against the side of a spring finger during installation, removal or side-to-side shifting of the mounting plate.

Abstract: A DC to DC switching power converter includes a shared set of high-side switching elements which may be operated at approximately a duty cycle approaching 50%, and one or more sets of low-side switching elements which may be operated at a lower duty cycle. The sets of low-side switching elements may be turned off early in response to a control signal to regulate a particular output. Steering diodes are included to inhibit current from flowing between the various low-side stages when turned of at different times. Freewheeling diodes reduce the need for snubber circuitry. The control signals may be isolated by high-speed optical couplers.
