Aside from apparently having both the ability to reproduce on their own and simultaneously never being around when you need one, USB chargers seem innocuous enough. The specs are simple: convert mains ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bill Traue, CSRE, 8-VSB, AMD is principal of Bill Traue Technical Services. He acknowledges that when it comes to fixing dead switched-mode power supplies, the small wall-wart or line-lump type aren’t ...

Editor’s note: In Part one, we looked at an intro and the basics of linear regulator and switching power supply operation. This final part two will look at design considerations of the switching power ...

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 ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...
