Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces the release of three new switch mode power supplies. The C, HWB and SWF series have been designed with a user-configurability feature to prevent customers from ...

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.

Power supply design has traditionally placed a high priority on energy efficiency. The system and the end user will pay more if the power supply is inefficient and has non-negligible power losses. Let ...

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 ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

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 ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces the release of three new switch mode power supplies. Three switch mode power supplies from Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, the C, HWB and SWF series, have been designed ...

Bipolar power supplies are specialized instruments that provide both positive and negative outputs. A unique feature of many bipolar power supplies is the capability to both source and sink power, ...
