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 ...

An effective and long-lasting power supply is the backbone of any IoT device. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the & “older ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) are the dominant type of power supply in electronic equipment today. Their small size and high efficiency make them ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

Buffalo Grove, IL - Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce its expanded line of three-phase power supplies. The SPD Series 3-Phase Switch-Mode Power Supplies are offered in 120, 240, 480 and 960 watt ...

[Ken] needed to supply 3.3 volts of regulated power. He started by using a linear voltage regulator but after a few calculations he discovered that 72% of what he put in was lost to heat. The solution ...
