Gathering information on physical phenomena such as force, pressure, light, temperature, strain and current is an invaluable tool when designing many systems. Sensors convert changes in physical ...

H-bridge buck-boost ICs are widely used in applications requiring a constant voltage or current source even when the system battery drops to lower voltages. They make sense when a single-stage ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

This phenomenon has nothing to do with “Gunsmoke” or with “Have Gun, Will Travel”. (Do you remember those old TV shows?) The phrase “shoot- through” describes unwanted and possibly destructive pulses ...
