Both switching and linear regulators in power supplies carry out the identical task of producing a regulated output voltage from an uncontrolled input voltage. However, they carry out this duty using ...

On paper, electricity behaves in easy-to-understand, predictable ways. That’s mostly because the wires on the page have zero resistance and the switching times are actually zero, whereas in real life ...

Aside from apparently having both the ability to reproduce on their own and simultaneously never being around when you need one, USB chargers seem innocuous enough. The specs are simple: convert mains ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces the release of three new switch mode power supplies. The C, HWB and SWF series have been designed with a user-configurability feature to prevent customers from ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC announces the release of three new switch mode power supplies. Three switch mode power supplies from Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, the C, HWB and SWF series, have been designed ...
