Testing a regulator all the way down to zero volts to see how it behaves and finding an output level, below which bad things ...

Simply connecting a power supply to a load is not always so simple. Voltage drop due to wires, cables, connectors and circuit board traces can cause considerable regulation errors at the load. It is ...

Power quality personnel at utilities and industrial facilities worldwide are familiar with the potential negative consequences of voltage sags. However, more than 80% of all power disturbances last ...

A well-known solution for electrical noise in industrial plants is the constant-voltage transformer, or CVT. These devices can filter distortion and notches from input voltages (see Fig. 1). CVTs have ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Meeting demands of 1% to 3% accuracy in supply designs for many applications, especially those in tough environments, can be rather challenging. A new dc-dc converter ...

Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green LEDs as both the stabilization elements and as the voltage indicators at the front-panel switch (b). Fig 2. The addition of resistor R4 to the ...

“Chapter 5; Horowitz and Hill”. University students of all subjects will each have their standard texts of which everyone will own a copy. It will be so familiar to them as to be referred to by its ...
