ASIC Advantage’s IPS20 and IPS21 power management ICs simplify the design of secondary-based feedback and protection circuit implementations ASIC Advantage’s IPS20 and IPS21 power management ICs ...
The global demand for green energy sources is driving strong market growth for solar power systems. Although a great deal of development work is still focused on making PV (photovoltaic) energy ...
A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
The multi-wire branch is here to stay; so is ground fault protection. But we should unite these technologies only when it’s a good match. Ground-fault protection and the multi-wire branch circuit ...
Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...
Protection against ESD events (commonly referred to as ESD robustness) is an extremely important aspect of integrated circuit (IC) design and verification, including 2.5/3D designs. ESD events cause ...
Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
