Every time a power MOSFET is switched on or off in a switched-mode power supply, parasitic inductances cause ground shifts. This can lead to uncontrolled switching of gate driver ICs...

The circuit converts pulse information to a clean dc voltage by the end of a single incoming pulse. In another technique, an RC filter can convert a PWM signal to an averaged dc voltage, but this method is slow in responding. Converting low-duty-cycle pulse information is slower yet...

Efficient Power Conversion announces the EPC2051, a 100 V GaN transistor with a maximum RDS(on) of 25 mΩ and a 37 A pulsed output current for high efficiency power conversion in a tiny 1.1 mm2 footprint...

The RSL10 SIP features a built-in antenna, RSL10 radio, and all required passive components in one complete, miniature solution. Certified with the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, the RSL10 SIP significantly reduces time-to-market and development costs...

Could I use the disable pin of an amplifier to save power without losing performance?...

Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation has released the AK4377A, a D/A converter with headphone amplifier. This is the newer and higher performing solution compared to the AK4376A, (a 2017 release), which has been adopted by many portable audio products...

In analog design, you might need to create an amplifier with nonlinear dynamic characteristics – for example, logarithmic, exponential, or square-law. Usually, such amplifiers are complicated. However, the project often does not require mathematical precision...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the launch of a new dual H-bridge driver IC for DC brushed motors and stepping motors. The TC78H651FNG delivers performance at a low voltage (down to 1.8 V) and high current (up to 1.6 A) that is essential for equipment powered by dry-cell batteries...

Allegro MicroSystems has released a fully integrated, small form factor, power monitoring IC with reinforced voltage isolation. Allegro’s ACS724 and ACS711 current sensor ICs are commonly used in internet connected power outlets and other IoT devices. The ACS71020 improves upon these popular ICs...

This Design Idea presents a minimal-parts-count, wide-range voltage doubler using the inherent voltage-doubling characteristics of a one-transformer push-pull dc/dc converter. The implementation uses a high-voltage Darlington-array driver, ULN2023A...
