Have you ever gone through detailed calculations of expected component losses in your design, only to find that your lab measurements have a large disparity? This Power Tip presents a simple method to ...

How semi-automated tools speed up the power-supply design process. The five main steps to take when building a power-supply architecture. How do LTpowerPlanner and LTspice help facilitate the ...

Pisa series electronic circuit breakers (ECB) have added six Pisa-M four-channel ECB models. They efficiently create multiple ...

In Part 1, we looked at how to size a branch circuit and walked through a simple example. So if you’re sizing a feeder, why don’t you do it the same way? Except in cases where a feeder is also ...

How many integrated circuits do you need to build up a power supply that’ll convert mains AC into a stable DC voltage? Would you believe, none? We just watched this video by [The Current Source] ...

In some power-supply applications, the pulse-width-modulator (PWM) controller is powered up from an auxiliary winding tapped off the power stages transformer (Fig. 1). This technique reduces power ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TPH3R10AQM,” a 100V N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with Toshiba’s latest-generation process, U-MOS X-H. The product ...
