Editor’s note: I am so happy that there are still companies around that create precision, discrete transistors in our industry; Linear Integrated Systems is one of the best I have encountered. There ...

Bob and Tim are discussing the job that they are about to start. They are at a residence and the system has a blown low-voltage fuse. Tim said, “Let’s just change the fuse and try it and see if the ...

The power converter has high-voltage and high-current switching waveforms that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the form of both conducted and radiated disturbances. To reduce these high ...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure 1 are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by 1 ...

A popular electrical component used on many control circuits is the step-down transformer. It is the power source for a separate lower-voltage circuit which typically controls the operation of a ...

Front end topology and some tips to design a mixed bridge circuit that effectively protects the design from an overvoltage. A robust solution using a new SCR generation and front end topologies that ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...
