MOSFET selection for DC-to-DC switching controllers can be a complicated process. It is not sufficient to merely look at the voltage and current ratings for a MOSFET. A balance between low gate charge ...

New MOSFETs improve efficiency and switching speed in power supplies. Designed for servers and systems in high temperatures.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Switching power supplies are inevitable in today’s designs. They’re power-efficient and thermal-efficient, with various ...

SMPS is the abbreviation of switching mode power supply, a kind of high-frequency power conversion device and a power supply device. Its function is to convert a level of voltage to the voltage or ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

With the increasing use of start-stop vehicle technology (which automatically turns off the engine while it is idling), more and more automotive systems must operate at low input voltages. These low ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
