When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...
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.
Continental has been granted a patent for a method of switching electronic components using pulse-width modulation signals. The method controls output signals through control signals, adjusting them ...
High-voltage transient spikes generated during power conversion or gate-drive switching can be very harmful. In a motor-drive application, voltage derivation over time (dV/dt) transients may break the ...
