Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Every automated system that tests electronic circuit boards, modules, or equipment needs one or more DC power supplies. DC supplies provide power to the device under test as well as test stimulus. For ...

This document teaches the users to determine the characteristics of step-down DC-DC (buck) switched mode power supply through understanding and exploring its voltage and current waveforms. Both the ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

An effective and long-lasting power supply is the backbone of any IoT device. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

The Rhino line of power supplies has been has been expanded to include the PSE series of AC/DC switch-mode power supplies encapsulated in an ultra-compact, low profile housing. The series features a ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

The power supply unit (PSU) is one of the PC components that we tend to take for granted. It sits in the case with a bunch of wires sticking out of it, and maybe once in a while we blow some air blown ...

Toshiba Launches 100V N-Channel Power MOSFET with Its Latest Generation Process Technology[1] to Improve Efficiency in Switched-Mode Power Supplies for Industrial Equipment Toshiba Electronic Devices ...
