Today's digital ICs typically demand complex voltage sequencing, a task that usually requires dedicated ICs or microprocessors. But what if your requirements are more modest?...

Linear regulator ICs offer simple, efficient, and effective solutions in a multitude of low- to moderate-power voltage regulation applications. They also provide opportunities for many simple application tricks that stretch their performance...

Amplifying the human voice presents some tough challenges. One of the toughest of these is providing enough amplification to make sure a soft-spoken person can be heard while allowing sufficient headroom for people who speak loudly...

Performance under transient loads has become the most important specification of voltage regulators used to power a wide array of products whose current demands vary quickly during operation. Testing transient performance requires a load that can be programmed...

Renesas Electronics Corporation introduced the RAA78815x Family of 5 V differential RS-485/422 transceivers with industry-leading electrical fast transient  immunity ±5000 V and ESD protection up to ±16,000 V...

For most applications, current measurements are made by sensing the voltage drop across a resistor. There are two locations in a circuit that resistors are commonly placed for current measurements...

ACEINNA announced the high current ±65 Amp MCx1101 Current Sensor, the industry’s most accurate and highest bandwidth current sensor...

With their excellent isolation and reliability, gate-drive transformers are commonly used for driving half-bridge power circuits. However, they pose challenges when you want to have both switches off for an extended period...

Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2 mV/K temperature coefficient. Less well-known is the fact that the reverse current of a PN-junction diode shows a good exponential dependency over temperature...

Renesas Electronics Corporation introduced the RAA227063 Smart Gate Driver for brushless DC motor applications. The new device is programmable via an SPI interface, enabling it to support both motors with rotor position sensors and sensorless applications...
