Fig. 1: The silicon-controlled rectifier One major aspect of development in broadcast transmitter technology and power electronics is in the area of power control. On the traditional transformer, we ...

Design Idea for a simple gated-osciallator circuit to limit MOSFET on-time using an An R-C time to limit On-time pulse period length and generates its own maximum permitted On/Off duty cycle. A power ...

The transformation of the power landscape involves more than just generation. The distribution of electricity is being changed as well, with technology designed to make electrical systems safer, more ...

Selecting the right solution to optimize the distribution of power to the connected loads is imperative for maximum system uptime. Switches, breakers, remote signals across Ethernet and automated ...

A monolithic GaN mains power converter IC was the target of Leibniz University Hannover, which worked with Texas Instruments. And the result is a 15W off-line PSU that can feed a 30-60V LED string ...

ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has launched Emax 2, the first low-voltage circuit breaker with integrated energy management functions that monitor power usage and control ...

An ordinary automatic room power control circuit has only one light sensor. So when a person enters the room it gets one pulse and the lights come ‘on.’ When the person goes out it gets another pulse ...

Advancing GSM architectures many not seem like a sexy topic in an age where 2.5G and 3G technologies are the talk of the town. However, the reality is that like AMPS in the past GSM is becoming a base ...
