To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

Power transformers are often the main source of common-mode noise in isolated switching power converters. Why? Because inside the transformer, the windings on the primary and secondary sides of the ...

How accuracy is defined in DC programmable power supplies How and why the power supply experiences voltage output errors How to wire test leads and sense leads for accurate measurements When testing ...

One of the most misunderstood concepts of designing an isolated dc-dc power converter is how to ensure the output voltage rises smoothly to the final regulation value. BOB BELL, Applications Manager ...

Computer power supply units are designed to both power your computer's components and protect them from minor surges. But too large of a surge will blow a PSU's fuse and render a computer powerless, ...
