This circuit is a small +5V power supply, which is useful when experimenting with digital electronics. Small inexpensive wall transformers with variable output voltage are available from any ...

How semi-automated tools speed up the power-supply design process. The five main steps to take when building a power-supply architecture. How do LTpowerPlanner and LTspice help facilitate the ...

Photoflash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high voltage capacitor into a bulb. Operation of these circuits from a battery or other low-voltage source requires a step-up dcdc converter to ...

Learn how to select a power-supply configuration based on PPG system requirements. Review the implementation of switched-mode power-supply reference circuits for both discrete (part one) and ...

Switch-mode power supplies are ubiquitous. Standard off-the-shelf modules in a consistent range of form factors available from multiple manufacturers. Globalized manufacturing and trade has turned ...

The supply voltage is shared between components in a series circuit, so the sum of the voltages across all of the components in a series circuit is equal to the supply voltage, \({V_s}\). if two ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

The use of a Standby Voltage on computer power supplies became widespread when the ATX specification was published in 1995. It enables a computer to be put into a low power consumption mode without ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...
