This proposed design eliminates traditional additional requirements for AGC, AC coupling, and post amplification circuitry. This Design Idea presents a simple op-amp-based sine wave oscillator that directly generates a low-impedance bipolar output ...
Abstract This article explains why Bode plots are used to showcase the transfer function of a power supply loop. While there are load transient tests in the time domain, the results do not show other important information that a Bode plot does. ...
I 2 C is a popular serial protocol for power controllers, ADCs and DACs, EEPROMs, and other devices. In certain data-acquisition and power-control situations, you must isolate the master from one or more slave devices for noise, grounding, or ...
Converting frequency signals to loop current signals creates an economical result for process industry applications. Process industry applications commonly employ multiple motors. Their speeds are monitored by tachometers using magnetic pickups ...
Having very large or very small duty cycles, especially at high switching frequencies, can cause timing violations, leading to degraded system performance. Abstract This article is the third article in a series where common switch-mode power supply ...
Abstract This article explains the unique considerations and challenges associated with utilizing GaN switches in switch-mode power supplies. A solution is presented in the form of a specialized GaN driver that provides the necessary functions for ...
