Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

Modern high-frequency amplifiers are a cranky group that lose performance when driving capacitive and reactive loads. Fortunately, you can use some simple tricks to pacify poorly loaded amplifiers.

Kepco is pleased to introduce an option for its 200W and 400W BOP models to optimize their ability to drive capacitive loads. This option (designated by the suffix "C") makes the BOP more suitable for ...

STMicroelectronics’ latest high-side switches, the IPS2050H and the IPS2050H-32, have been designed to permit two programmable current-limit values for smart driving of capacitive loads that draw high ...

There are numerous factors to consider when adding external capacitors to switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). This article will discuss noise, startup, ESR, stability, pre-bias applications, Sense ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...

Responding to market needs, server technology has rapidly advanced, delivering high-density, highly reliable computing without the massive harmonics issues inherent with older power supplies. One ...

It hasn’t been that long since humans figured out how to create power grids that integrated multiple generators and consumers. Ever since AC won the battle of the currents, grid operators have had to ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...
