This document teaches the users to determine the characteristics of step-down DC-DC (buck) switched mode power supply through understanding and exploring its voltage and current waveforms. Both the ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists looking for a dual output USB step up breadboard power supply might be interested in a new device which has been created by Bradley Slattery called the Toaster. The ...

For decades, power-supply designers have set their inductor ripple current to somewhere between 20% and 40% of their power supply’s full rated output current. This is considered a good starting point ...

The LTC3895 is a high-voltage non-isolated synchronous step-down switching regulator controller that drives external N-channel MOSFETs. Its 4V to 140V (150V absolute max.) input voltage range allows ...

Today’s electronic systems are becoming more and more complex, with an increasing number of power rails and supplies. To achieve optimum power solution density, reliability and cost, often system ...
