LEDs usually take their drive from a constant dc-current source to maintain constant luminescence. Most dc/dc converters, however, deliver a constant voltage by ...

The voltage-to-current converter in Figure 1 can both source and sink current. The circuit is more flexible than some traditional current references that require different topologies for current ...

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.

In USB and low-power adapters, resonant flyback converters can be utilized for the design, without the need of a regulator opto feedback network by sensing the output through the transformer turns ...

The world’s first commercial high-voltage direct current converter station, located in New Brunswick, Canada, was recognized as an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing on Feb. 24.

For the PDF version of this article, click here. For several years, the dc-dc converters used to power microprocessor core supplies in PCs have been fed by a 12-V source. This voltage was chosen to ...

Guest columnist Christopher Gobok, product marketing engineer at Linear Technology believes that accurate power supply voltage and current monitoring is crucial to conserving power and guaranteeing ...

If you work on simple digital projects, just about any bench supply will offer the voltage and current you’re looking for. However, if you’re working with valves, you’ll often ...
