Here’s a MEMS relay with an integrated FET that can handle higher power levels, breaking away from the “low power” moniker associated with MEMS parts. Paul Rako takes a closer look at what makes this ...
Most of Europe’s 240 million electricity meters are expected to be replaced by smart meters by 2020. It is currently estimated that approximately 78 million of these meters will need to use AC ...
Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...
Relays are often used as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. On the other hand, the power dissipation in a ...
Microchip Technology Inc. has launched the BR235 and BR235D series of 25-A QPL electromechanical power relays. These power relays meet the requirements of the MIL-PRF-83536 specification and ISO-9001 ...
