If you are an electronic engineer or received an education in electronics that went beyond the very basics, there is a good chance that you will be familiar with the Fairchild μA723. This chip ...

Question: Where Should the Coil Go? Answer: Switching regulators for voltage conversion use inductors for temporarily storing energy. These inductors are often very large components and must be ...

Feedback-control schemes for linear systems have been around since at least the 17 th century, regulating pressure and distance between millstones and then, famously, to control James Watt’s steam ...

Fig. 1. The LTM4623 is housed in a 1.82mm LGA package. Fig. 2. The package contains the switching controller, power FETs, magnetics and support components. Fig. 3. Simplified block diagram of the ...

For as versatile and inexpensive as switch-mode power supplies are at all kinds of different tasks, they’re not always the ideal choice for every DC-DC circuit. Although they can do almost any job in ...

These are partly line-bound at the input side and output side of the voltage converter, but partially these are also radiated. Those interferences are mainly caused by the rapid switching edges. They ...
