To improve efficiency in high-power applications, voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach ...

Current is a measure of how much electric charge flows through a circuit. The more charge that flows, the bigger the current. Current is measured in amperes. The symbol for ampere is A. For example, ...

This video talks about the techniques for measuring drain voltage and current. This course will show you how to accurately measure the MOSFET drain voltage and current with the Power Integrations’ ...

You need to know how to measure the current that flows through a component in a circuit and the voltage across it. The ammeter must be connected in series with the component – remember, in a series ...

There are many reasons why one would want to measure voltage and current in a project, some applications requiring one to measure mains and even three-phase voltage to analyze the characteristics of a ...

One application that uses a precision power supply and DMM involves characterizing the current drawn by a device or circuit board at different voltage levels. Figure 1 shows a typical setup. Engineers ...

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 ...
