The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. Power supplies have rapidly progressed from simple linear designs to complex switched-mode topologies, and designers are turning to resources like those assembled by ...

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 ...

A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a rod. Figure A depicts a mechanism utilized as a ...

The digital low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator is one of the latest innovations in the power industry, bringing telemetry and adjustability to a linear power supply in a very small footprint. The ...
