Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems to work, according to my use of LTspice. Yesterday’s idea for a Cuk converter synchronous rectifier drive (right) seems ...

If you are going to use a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) in your next development, you will ask yourself: how do I develop the best gate driver for it ...

The LTC6101 amplifier is an example of a very good unidirectional, high-side current-sense amplifier. But that “unidirectional” is sometimes a problem. It means two things: you can't sense negative ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

Using a MOSFET as a switch is generally pretty simple. Make the gate voltage sufficient with respect to the source and current flows through the channel. However, if you are switching higher voltages, ...

DC electronic loads have been available for electronic testing applications for several decades. Today’s products include switched resistors, high-speed active loads utilizing power semiconductors, ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Mission critical servers and communications equipment must continue to operate, even as circuit boards and cards are plugged-in or pulled-out for maintenance and capacity adjustment. Hot swap ...
