A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...

This engineering report describes a constant voltage (CV) output 35 W isolated flyback power supply with a single-stage power factor correction circuit for LED lighting application. The power supply ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

A well-known solution for electrical noise in industrial plants is the constant-voltage transformer, or CVT. These devices can filter distortion and notches from input voltages (see Fig. 1). CVTs have ...

How do you deliver constant power when the load impedance isn't constant? That problem arises, for example, in trying to maintain a warm LCD display on an outdoor gas pump in cold climates. As the ...

Designing the correct power source is essential and complex, since there is no one typical application. While total automation of power supply design is yet to be achieved, a comprehensive range of ...

When you determine conductor sizes for low-voltage feeder or branch circuits, do you account for voltage drop? Some people believe this is unnecessary, and some believe that doing so is a Code ...

A favorite project of ours is the humble breadboard power supply. Yes, you can still prototype on breadboards, no, you don’t need an entire bench power supply to prototype on one, and every breadboard ...
