Here’s a handy little current source that’s often used to control the current flowing through a load. Find the equation that defines the i-Load current and account for non-ideal sources. The i-Load ...

Automotive, industrial, and FireWire peripherals all call for high-efficiency, space-saving power supplies with high current capabilities at very high voltages. The problem is that high-voltage, ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced the introduction of the AP22913, a 2A single-channel, slew-rate-controlled load switch with true reverse current blocking for high-side load-switching applications.

Testing power supplies and batteries requires current loads capable of sinking large current and dissipating substantial amounts of power. A simple but accurate current load can be built using just a ...

The ACB technology, coupled with load current monitoring, remote diagnostics and visual indications, ensures maximum reliability in redundant power systems. the technology automatically and ...

A 480V, 3-phase, squirrel-cage motor is a common piece of equipment in many facilities. When sizing circuit breakers, fuses, and conductors for a general AC motor branch circuit, National Electrical ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...
