A difficult challenge in power-supply design is tailoring the response of the control loop. With the loads dynamically changing at a much higher frequency, the control loop has to keep up. To handle ...

Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has delivered three high-temperature, high-speed digital optocouplers, which are said to be the first in the industry for use in industrial applications. These ...

Optocouplers provide high-voltage isolation between a low-voltage device like a microcontroller or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator and a high-voltage device like an intelligent or integrated ...

Optocouplers are devices that transfer electrical signals via light waves. They're appropriate for discrete-motion applications in industrial environments. Through light waves, optocouplers transfer ...
