For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

Unpacking the challenges with high-voltage power conversion and how SiC fits in. The pivotal advantages of SiC over traditional silicon in next-gen power converters. Rethinking circuit design for ...

While passive precharge employs a power resistor to create an RC circuit that charges the capacitor asymptotically, active precharge can employ a switching converter with a buck topology that uses ...

What distinguishes a medium voltage circuit breaker from other types is not the enclosure or operating mechanism, but the method of arc extinction. The interruption medium governs arc energy, ...

Lightweight, small-size, and high-power-density power converter systems, which use only switches and capacitors in their power stage, have no need for transformers or inductors in their design. This ...

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...

Tommy Liu builds a vehicle-mounted particulate matter monitoring system powered from harvested wind energy and an integrated ...
