Programmable AC power sources have been widely used to implement and support numerous product test procedures over the years. They provide the test engineer with the ability to fully control voltage, ...

This white paper reinforces the notion that digital power supplies are here to stay and there has not been a better time to make the switch to digital. The AC-DC Reference Design from Microchip is a ...

In an effort to meet worldwide efficiency requirements, engineersare designing offline power supplies integrating high-efficiencyswitching-regulator-control circuits. This approachuses less copper and ...

This online engineering specialization is ideal for learners and engineers seeking to advance their skills in the analysis, modeling, and design of high-performance control loops around switched-mode ...

A monolithic GaN mains power converter IC was the target of Leibniz University Hannover, which worked with Texas Instruments. And the result is a 15W off-line PSU that can feed a 30-60V LED string ...

Power-control modules are circuits comprising devices such as silicon-controlled rectifiers, triacs, power transistors, and power rectifier diodes. These circuits can function as pulse-width ...

Worldwide ac mains voltages can range from 100 to 240 V. To allow for sags (brownouts) and surges, offline ac supplies intended for universal input are rated at 85 to 165 V. The ac frequency ranges ...

Description: Introduction to power semiconductor devices, characteristics, and ratings. Emphasis on analysis and design of circuits with power semiconductors and associated devices. Power ...

To many of us, the utility power grid is a vast system of unknowns. Its performance can make unprotected electronic equipment useless. Why? Because grid voltage values, higher or lower than guaranteed ...
