The general approach to an electronic load is to use a transistor across the input terminals so the current flows from drain (collector) to source (emitter). A resistance is affected by causing a ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...

Having been around since the early 1960s, electronic loads evolved out of the need to emulate real world applications in testing power supplies as well as batteries, and now fuel cells. The first ...

Typical tests performed with an electronic load involve relatively high currents turned on and/or off rapidly. Either or both of these conditions place significant performance demands, not only on the ...

Researchers have created highly conductive and durable silver nanowire ink that can be used to print durable electronic circuits on paper. The technology is being touted by the researchers at the ...
