To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

Wherever circuits need protection against current overloads or short circuits, you’ll find circuit breakers. They range from fingernail-sized devices for semiconductor protection to truck-sized ...

Even though the cables between a source supply and a regulator are basic dc, some basic issues must be addressed to ensure viable results and test integrity. Every engineer knows that a stable, ...

Branch circuits are undoubtedly the most commonly installed circuits in both residential and non-residential applications. And, since they supply the equipment that utilizes the electricity, they are ...

Production test of a finished electronic product often involves two techniques: in-circuit test (ICT) and functional component test (FCT). The ICT technique examines a non-powered circuit board to ...

How accuracy is defined in DC programmable power supplies How and why the power supply experiences voltage output errors How to wire test leads and sense leads for accurate measurements When testing ...
