Switch-mode power supplies based on the buck (step-down) converter principle are widely used in all electronic applications. They do not require a transformer, just a simple coil to efficiently convert a high voltage to a low voltage...

Vishay Intertechnology introduced a new 200 A power module designed to save space and increase efficiency in 48 V traction inverters for light electric vehicles...

The circuit is a complete microphone signal conditioning system based on a single SSM2166 integrated circuit...

Circuits for converting 4 to 20 mA analog current loop signals to 0 to 20 mA may be hot topics, but hot implementations of those circuits are not...

This article explains the unique considerations and challenges associated with utilizing GaN switches in switch-mode power supplies...

Here’s a neat and novel way of using a long-tailed pair to drive not just two but three LEDs...

In my first blog about calibration, I discussed calibrating inputs using techniques that tolerated offsets by simply including them in the measurements. In this blog I will look at nullifying the offsets...

Diodes Incorporated expands its innovative load switch portfolio with the introduction of DML1012ALDSQ, an automotive-compliant low drain-source on-resistance N-channel MOSFET smart load switch...

In the comments to my series of blogs on temperature measurement on the late, lamented Microcontroller Central, there was some feeling that a blog on calibration of analog IO might be a good idea...

The ubiquity of the 4 to 20 mA current loop in analog process monitoring and control creates possibilities for peculiar designs of circuits for unusual accessory functions...
