Designing the correct power source is essential and complex, since there is no one typical application. While total automation of power supply design is yet to be achieved, a comprehensive range of ...

How semi-automated tools speed up the power-supply design process. The five main steps to take when building a power-supply architecture. How do LTpowerPlanner and LTspice help facilitate the ...

Adapted from The Circuit Designer's Companion, Third Ed., by Peter Wilson (Newnes). [Part 1 began a look at grounding: when to consider it, how chassis materials affect it, and the problem of ground ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Switching power supplies are inevitable in today’s designs. They’re power-efficient and thermal-efficient, with various ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

Circuits that fall under the requirements of Art. 725 are remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that aren’t an integral part of a device or appliance. Article 725 includes circuits for ...

In Part 1, we looked at how to size a branch circuit and walked through a simple example. So if you’re sizing a feeder, why don’t you do it the same way? Except in cases where a feeder is also ...
