In certain applications, design requirements may call upon a system's switched-mode power supply to more promptly deliver its output than would the garden-variety power supply...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has developed a series of new high-efficiency N-channel MOSFETs for automotive applications that are based on the company’s advanced U-MOSVIII-H process technology...

Switched-mode power supplies commonly use inductors for temporarily storing energy. In the evaluation of these power supplies, it is often useful to measure the inductor current to gain a complete picture of the voltage conversion circuit. But what is the best way to measure the inductor currents?...

Skyworks is pleased to introduce a high-linearity, low-threshold, dual PIN limiter diode module that addresses the growing need for receiver protection in cellular infrastructure (including 5G), and microwave radio communications...

A wearable millimeter-sized accelerometer functions as a microphone to capture the vibrations created by heart and lung functions, thus providing additional physiological data...

Vishay Intertechnology introduced the first-ever -30 V p-channel power MOSFET to offer on-resistance of 1.7 mΩ at 10 V...

There are standard techniques to generate negative output voltages, and there are well-known approaches to dynamically adjust an output voltage. The missing link that I hope to address in this article combines both techniques with a simple level-shifting circuit...

Dialog Semiconductor announced the availability of the DA14531 SmartBond TINY module, empowering customers to build the next generation of connected devices. The SmartBond TINY module was specifically optimized to significantly reduce the cost of adding Bluetooth low energy functionality to an IoT...

Diodes Incorporated announced a high efficiency, Stereo 25 W / Mono 50 W Class D digital audio amplifier PAM8823 with I2S input to drive stereo bridge-tied speakers...

A lot of the analog-circuit conversation these days is centered on low-power and thus low-voltage considerations...  Still, there’s a large slice of analog power-related circuitry devoted to control of higher voltages...
