Power supplies are used in a wide range of difficult and demanding environments. However, what makes a modern power supply “rugged” is subjective. For example, a power supply that’s robust and rugged ...

In today’s power-supply designs, even small wiring and connector resistances can distort the voltage that actually reaches the load. As systems push tighter tolerances and higher currents, these drops ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...

A power supply unit is one of the most crucial components in an electronics system, as its operation can affect the entire system’s functionality. In the context of industrial functional safety, as in ...

Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...
