Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces the release of three new switch mode power supplies. The C, HWB and SWF series have been designed with a user-configurability feature to prevent customers from ...

Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

The article provides details on device types such as dc supplies, converters, transformers and protection devices used in ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH launches six new products featuring the DTMOSVI 600V series of N-channel power MOSFET chips ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched "TPH2R70AR5," a 100V N-channel power MOSFET fabricated with U-MOS11-H, Toshiba's latest-generation process([1]) . The MOSFET ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has launched six new products featuring the DTMOSVI 600V series of N-channel power MOSFET chips, mounted in a 4-pin TO-247-4L(X) package. These advanced TKxxxZ60Z1 ...

Aside from apparently having both the ability to reproduce on their own and simultaneously never being around when you need one, USB chargers seem innocuous enough. The specs are simple: convert mains ...
