The design of a switching power supply has always been considered a blend of magic and art by every engineer that designs one for the first time. Fortunately, today the market offers different tools ...

The switched-capacitor (SC) techniques enable the design of various filters that can be realized in monolithic integrated circuits from using state-of-art MOS technology. By replacing the noisy ...

Not all UPS designs are the same. As a result of cost savings in the very competitive UPS market, some designs may not have the highest level of component reliability. Capacitors are an integral part ...

Almost all off line switching power supplies over several kilowatts of output power use a three phase bridge rectifier. Typically, it comprises a six diode bridge and a DC bus filter capacitor. A ...

Many sensors have a small analog signal that rides on top of a larger dc pedestal. For these circuits (Fig. 1), the signal must be ac coupled and amplified before it’s digitized. The feedback of an ...
