Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

Resistors are fundamental components in electronic circuits. Despite their simplicity, they play a central role in ensuring ...

A joint research team led by Professors Donghee Son and Jin-Hong Park at SKKU has developed a stretchable, self-healing, and reconfigurable electronic circuit platform that can autonomously recover ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 VDC supply and keeping load circuits that aren’t impacted by the failure ...

Researchers have created highly conductive and durable silver nanowire ink that can be used to print durable electronic circuits on paper. The technology is being touted by the researchers at the ...

Typical tests performed with an electronic load involve relatively high currents turned on and/or off rapidly. Either or both of these conditions place significant performance demands, not only on the ...

When clients call you because operating problems on pieces of their 120V equipment cause them to suspect their facility's power supply, you have to decide where to start your investigation. Don't ...

The project is designed to shut down the power supply when it is overloaded. Conventional circuit breaker like MCB based is on thermal bimetal lever trip mechanism. The project is designed to shut ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...
