Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are increasingly prominent in today’s automotive vehicles. They enhance driver and road safety by minimizing human errors. Early ADAS included only a single ...
How switch-mode power supplies changed the power-supply design space. The isolation factor in power supplies: galvanic isolation vs. non-isolated. Most common non-isolated topologies. This series ...
Reductions in power-supply solution size and cost, which is critical to furthering development of automotive systems, also presents the challenge of reduced thermal performance. Simply put, using ...
It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...
Surprising facts, like “old fangled” 3-leg linear regulators (LM317, LM337, LM350, et al.) can be used in shunt regulator topologies can sometimes inspire “new fangled” circuit designs. Figure 1 shows ...
KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched the TCR1HF series of LDO regulators that deliver high voltages, a wide input voltage range, ...
Power supply manufacturers sometimes hear from customers with unfortunate dilemmas, such as, “I need to operate the power supply outside its rated voltage range.” Or, “What happens if I exceed my ...
Electronic enthusiasts looking for a way to control power to the next project from a 9 V battery may be interested in a small device called snapVCC. Available to purchase from the Crowd Supply website ...
