Have you ever gone through detailed calculations of expected component losses in your design, only to find that your lab measurements have a large disparity? This Power Tip presents a simple method to ...

Designing the correct power source is essential and complex, since there is no one typical application. While total automation of power supply design is yet to be achieved, a comprehensive range of ...

How semi-automated tools speed up the power-supply design process. The five main steps to take when building a power-supply architecture. How do LTpowerPlanner and LTspice help facilitate the ...

Adapted from The Circuit Designer's Companion, Third Ed., by Peter Wilson (Newnes). [Part 1 began a look at grounding: when to consider it, how chassis materials affect it, and the problem of ground ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...

Short Circuit Analytic (SCA V1.0) software program performs available fault current calculations for 3-phase electric power systems. The program takes into consideration electrical parameters of the ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices. Their ...
