You would normally limit the inrush current during start-up of a rectifier circuit with a capacitor output filter...
This design idea describes a high-current (up to 8 A) shunt-regulator built around the TLV431 low-voltage, adjustable, precision shunt-regulator IC...
Figure shows the architecture of a conventional isolated flyback converter. These converters can be found frequently in power classes of up to about 60 W...
The high temperature of the power components is a known phenomenon in electronics. To overcome this challenge, the designers mount heatsinks on the components to dissipate the heat...
I2C is a popular bidirectional serial communications bus having a clock and a data line. Both line’s drivers consist of an open drain ground-referenced N-channel MOSFET with a pullup resistor connected to a supply...
The circuit is a single-supply version of a programmable Schmitt trigger, or a comparator with hysteresis...
In this article, I introduced an AC/DC flyback switching power supply that converts 85 V-260 VAC to 5 VDC-2.5 A, which can be used in various applications...
Modern measurement systems often operate with single 5-V power supplies, yet their input signals may have large common-mode voltages that exceed the supply by tens or hundreds of volts...
Using a blue LED can pose problems when available power-supply voltages don't meet or exceed the LED's 3 V forward-voltage drop. This Design Idea shows how to drive a blue LED from a 3 V battery...
