The importance of the input-voltage range in power-supply design. Using simulation to ensure the switching regulator is operating properly. A power supply’s source, in actual use, is never ideal. The ...

Different components affect system accuracy. Shaury Anand, of Texas Instruments, explains how to choose those most suitable for a precision DC power supply design. Test and measurement applications ...

Every day, you count on programmable system and bench DC power supplies to deliver voltage and current to products under test. You expect these supplies to deliver outputs that cover wide ranges while ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

When you set out to build a 60,000-volt power supply and find out that it “only” delivers a measly 50,000 volts, you naturally have to dive in and see where things can be improved. And boy, did ...

This article explains the impact a DC-bias power supply can have on an operational amplifier (op amp) being used in sensitive analog applications. The impact of both power-supply sequencing and the DC ...

A well-organised industrial network operates efficiently within every control panel. At the system's core is an AC-to-DC ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...
