Applications often end up with poorly-specified drives and other motion-control components. Often that is because engineers and designers overlook characteristics such as motor type, torque, power and ...

The MAX4990E high-voltage ±15-kV ESD-protected, dc/ac converter drives electroluminescent (EL) lamps. It uses an inductor-based boost converter to generate a high 250-Vp-p voltage for maximum EL lamp ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...
