Designers of electronics and communications systems are constantly faced with the challenge of integrating greater functionality on less silicon area. Many of the system blocks – such as power ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

Capacitance in many conventional dielectrics is dominated by charge arriving at and accumulating over the film surfaces with minor distortions of bond lengths and orientations, but in the case of ...

Efficiency is the name of the game in the design of power supplies. This is a major reason why switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are chosen for power-supply designs. However, even SMPSs have their ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

Saelig Company, Inc. announces the availability of the CLIPPER CLP1500V15A1 - a new, high technology oscilloscope adapter that allows small voltages to be measured in the presence of very high ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Full Service Foundry division of ams AG (SIX:AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, today announced a further expansion ...

Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...
