Adapted from The Circuit Designer's Companion, Third Ed., by Peter Wilson (Newnes). [Part 1 began a look at grounding: when to consider it, how chassis materials affect it, and the problem of ground ...

Is my power supply OK? What about my microprocessor? What if something goes wrong? Simulations show what happens if DC ...

The point is that the rest of the power supply receives the same DC output voltage, whether the AC input is 110V or 220V. Note at this point that the NTC thermistor (TH1) wired between the bridge ...

The high-efficiency switching power supply has become a staple ingredient in many of today’s electronic systems. What are its origins and how has it evolved over the decades?

GaN technology for switch-mode power supplies has reached a solid development state in which many power-supply applications can be designed with them. However, each new generation of GaN switches ...
