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’s source, in actual use, is never ideal. The real behavior, including parasitics, must be considered to build a reliable power system. When we use power supplies, we ensure that a dc-dc ...

Joining R.C. Electronics' DTX-5000 series of signal conditioners, the DTX-5492 provides both programmable voltage and current excitation for integral electronic piezoelectric (IEPE) transducers in a ...

Current sources are widely used in industrial control systems to transport analog process signals over long distances, but they are less widely used than voltage sources. This post loosely reviews the ...

This article is the final installment in a seven-part series on the effects of power quality disturbances on a five-stage electronic LED driver. In the first three parts of this series, we touched ...

Proper calibration of this test equipment is crucial to meeting the strict performance requirements of many high-voltage systems. Calibration results often need to comply with national or ...

Proper calibration of test instruments is crucial for meeting the stringent performance requirements of many equipment types. Calibration results must frequently meet national and international ...

The electronics industry is seeing a move toward higher voltages and currents to deliver sufficient supply and charging power in products ranging from handheld cellphones and tablets to workstations.

Nanotubes made of carbon, deposited as tiny spikes on a substrate, act as electron emitters that could lead to cheap and efficient displays, light sources and diodes. A team of Russian researchers, ...
