One of the most misunderstood concepts of designing an isolated dc-dc power converter is how to ensure the output voltage rises smoothly to the final regulation value. BOB BELL, Applications Manager ...

Wonderland’s current pwm to voltage converter mini-project is to interface a modern grblHAL cnc board with a late 1990s era thyristor-based motor control board in an milling machine. The board appears ...

This article presents the efficiency of DC-DC converter and techniques for PWM regulation. It also describes the limitation of the input voltage range, as well as synchronous rectification, planar ...

A full-bridge converter provides an efficient solution for isolated power conversion (Figure 1). Within this topology, the choice of control method will affect the overall performance of the converter ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Efficiency and density (Watts/Volume) have long been the metrics used to compare the performance of isolated DC-DC ...

Once more opto-isolators are to be seen in Wonderland. The aim was to see if the faster photodiode types can operate quickly in common collector mode. They consist of an infra-red led and a fast npn ...
