Simply connecting a power supply to a load is not always so simple. Voltage drop due to wires, cables, connectors and circuit board traces can cause considerable regulation errors at the load. It is ...

As semiconductor chip technology advances towards nanometre and sub-nanometre scales, the demands becomes exponentially more ...

Power quality personnel at utilities and industrial facilities worldwide are familiar with the potential negative consequences of voltage sags. However, more than 80% of all power disturbances last ...

Editor’s note: Our guest bloggers are: Donald Schelle is an analog field applications engineer for Texas Instruments and has more than a decade of engineering experience. He received a bachelor’s ...

A well-known solution for electrical noise in industrial plants is the constant-voltage transformer, or CVT. These devices can filter distortion and notches from input voltages (see Fig. 1). CVTs have ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...

Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green LEDs as both the stabilization elements and as the voltage indicators at the front-panel switch (b). Fig 2. The addition of resistor R4 to the ...
