Anthony T. Huynh (aka Thong Anthony Huynh) was a principal member of technical staff (MTS), applications engineering, at Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). He has more than 20 years of experience designing and defining isolated and nonisolated switching power supplies and power management products. At ADI, he has defined more than 100 power management products including DC-to-DC converters, hot swap controllers, Power over Ethernet, and various system-protection ICs adopted by the world’s leading manufacturers. Anthony holds four U.S. patents in power electronics and has written several public articles and application notes in this area. He has a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University and has completed all coursework for an M.S. degree in electrical engineering at Portland State University, where he also taught a power electronics class as an adjunct instructor.

- Looking for a negative output DC/DC converter? Search no further!Introduction Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power. Occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used. For this reason, negative (or inverting) output DC/DC converter solutions are not as common as their positive output DC/DC...04-04-2024
- Minimize the short-circuit current pulse in a hot-swap controllerJim Sherwin Thong HuynhBecause of internal circuit-breaker delay and limited MOS-gate pulldown current, many hot-swap controllers do not limit current during the first 10 to 50 µsec following a shorted output. The result can be a brief flow of several hundred amperes. A simple external...27-06-2021
