Introduction Electronic equipment uses predominantly positive voltage rails for power. Occasionally, some negative voltage rails are also used. For this reason, negative (or inverting) output DC/DC converter solutions are not as common as their ...

Introduction A switching regulator converts an input voltage to a higher or lower output voltage. For this, an inductor is used to store energy temporarily. The size of this inductor depends on the switching frequency of the switching regulator as ...

Introduction Wide bandgap power semiconductor devices like Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are enjoying growing popularity in many modern power electronic applications like E-mobility and renewable energy. Their extremely fast switching speed ...

When you include a power op amp, such as PA05 from Apex Microtechnology, in your design, it is desirable to minimize the supply-to-output differential to a minimum to reduce power dissipation and to fully exploit the amplifier's output range. ...

Abstract This article outlines the current methods used to enable true power-on (TPO) multiturn sensing capabilities and introduces a new simplified solution that is set to reshape both the industrial and automotive position sensing markets. The ...

Abstract In this three-part series, we have been exploring the properties and applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are mainly used for pattern recognition and the classification of objects. Part 3 will explain the hardware ...

Abstract This is part 2 in a series of articles focusing on the properties and applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which are mainly used for pattern recognition and the classification of objects. In the first article ...

Abstract The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, and AI is increasingly enabling applications that were previously unattainable or very difficult to implement. This series of articles explains convolutional neural networks ...

Relays are common electromechanical devices in electrical circuits that come in two types: either latched or non-latched. Latched relays retain their last switch position even after complete power loss and are available in either single coil or ...

As shown in Figure 1, this issue had been previously addressed during pre-internet times in EDN of January 18,1990 but a further detailed look at the idea is warranted thirty-four years later. Figure 1. Archival design idea “Resistor isolates ...
