Remote sense provides a straightforward way to correct them by letting the supply monitor the voltage at the load itself and ...

The best news when you power up a prototype supply board for the very first time is when it not only works, but also runs quiet and cool. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. A common problem ...

Learn how to select a power-supply configuration based on PPG system requirements. Review the implementation of switched-mode power-supply reference circuits for both discrete (part one) and ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...

Picking up where we left off in Part 1, we need to explore some methods to mitigate problems caused by unpredictable ground currents.

Noise is a constant problem in power-supply design. While there are FCC limits on the electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiating out into the air as well as the conducted noise that your design ...

Adoption of electric vehicles is fuelling an industry in power conversion for a comprehensive charging infrastructure, writes Jon Cooper of Avnet Abacus. Electric vehicles (EVs) are here to stay, with ...
