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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Switching power supplies are inevitable in today’s designs. They’re power-efficient and thermal-efficient, with various ...

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 ...

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 ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

Short-circuit currents represent a tremendous amount of destructive energy, which can be released through electrical systems under fault conditions. Baseline short-circuit studies should be performed ...

For one-off projects or prototyping, it’s not too hard to find a wall wart or power supply to send a few joules of energy from the wall outlet to your circuit. Most of these power supplies use a ...

My two file servers have redundant power supplies with all ps's plugged into a UPS. The UPS's are on the same circuit. I want to plug one ps/UPS from each server into another circuit for an additional ...
