Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more bandwidth and ways to integrate motion control with other applications. CAN open language enables plug ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Historically, motion controllers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial personal computers (PCs), which ...

Classic bus architectures use isolated dc/dc converters in multiple locations throughout the system. One isolated converter per voltage required at the load is commonly used with few, if any, ...

Back in the 1990s, the need for multiple high-current, sub 5-V power supplies to power the silicon that underpins communications infrastructures drove designers to adopt distributed power ...

All computing devices, from smartphones to supercomputers, pass data back and forth along electronic channels called "buses." You can think about the buses like freeways, in that having additional ...

Fig 1. Designers can parallel identical fixed-ratio isolated bus converters to create the high-power array in an intermediate bus architecture. Fig 2. This array of identical fixed-ratio isolated bus ...

GPIB or Ethernet? Some early testing results and recommendations can help you focus on the realities of each technology. Ethernet, with its higher bandwidth and ubiquitous usage, seems a natural ...
