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 ...

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 ...

A power supply rejection ratio test set-up can be configured with key components, explains Andreas Ibl and Marcus Sonst. The power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) indicates the stability of a power ...

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 ...

Circuits that fall under the requirements of Art. 725 are remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that aren’t an integral part of a device or appliance. Article 725 includes circuits for ...

Capacitive charge-pump circuits are used in many applications. And though these circuits appear deceptively simple, engineers working on them need a thorough understanding of how they function. By ...

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 ...
