A widely-used push-pull configuration of an AB class amplifier needs some improvements...

You sometimes need to drive a white LED from one 1.5 V battery. Unfortunately, the forward voltage of a white LED is 3 to 4 V. So, you would need a dc/dc converter to drive the LED from one battery...

Infineon Technologies introduces the new IMD110 SmartDriver series. The smart motor controller family combines the iMOTION Motion Control Engine with a three-phase gate driver in a compact package...

Adding a current-mirror circuit to a typical boost circuit allows you to select the amount of boost voltage and to ensure a constant difference between the input and the output voltages...

EPC announces the availability of the EPC9157, a 300 W DC-DC demo board in the tiny 1/16th brick size, measuring just 33 mm × 22.9 mm × 9 mm...

Navitas Semiconductor announced the NV6128, a new high-power 650V/800V-rated GaNFast power IC to address the high-power mobile and consumer power electronics market, and take market share from the old, slow, silicon chip...

Today's digital delay lines can process pulses no shorter than their delay times, and that restriction confines the devices to applications in which the duty cycle remains near 50%. A limited range of available delays further limits their use...

KDPOF presents the brand new integrated Fiber Optic Transceiver KD7051. It is the first device for optical in-vehicle connectivity that incorporates the transceiver IC, optoelectronics, and optics...

Some applications require an input voltage higher than the breakdown voltage of the IC supply pin. In boost converters and SEPICs, you can separate the VIN pin of the IC from the input inductor and use a simple zener regulator to generate the supply voltage for the IC...

In this Design Idea, we’ve taught the classic 555 timer IC to consume zero current in its quiescent mode and wake up quickly in a known state...
