- Power MOSFET is core of regulated-dc electronic loadAusiàs Garrigós José M. BlanesDesigners use electronic dc loads for testing power supplies and sources, such as solar arrays or batteries, but commercial ones are often expensive. By using a power MOSFET in its linear region, you can build your own (Figure 1). It uses two simple feedback loops to allow the...Nov 27, 2018
- Circuit implements photovoltaic-module simulatorAusiàs Garrigós José M. BlanesElectronics engineers often use photovoltaic-module simulators to test dc/dc-power converters, inverters, or MPPT (maximum-power-point-tracking)-control techniques. The use of these simulators lets you work in the laboratory with predefined photovoltaic conditions, thus avoiding...Jun 9, 2017
- Precision full-wave signal rectifier needs no diodesRectifier circuits based on semiconductor diodes typically handle voltage levels that greatly exceed the diodes' forward-voltage drops, which generally don't affect the accuracy of the rectification process. However, the rectified signal's accuracy suffers when the...Sep 30, 2015
