For a recent design project, a robust power supply was needed to control the gates of high-side FETs. Optocouplers readily translate the logic signals up to the correct control voltages to drive the FETs. However, to ensure that the FETs turn on ...
This Design Idea describes a new class of logic gates, which we have named resistor-FET-logic, aka “RFL.” How do we know it is new? While FET switches are common today, we have been unable to find a similar resistor-FET-logic. Further, ...
Boost converters, like other switchers, have traditionally received their control signals from a dedicated circuit. However, a recent trend is to integrate simple switching-power-supply building blocks into generic devices, such as ...
