The following text, which focuses on feedback and control loops, is excerpted from Chapter 3 of the book Switch-Mode Power Supplies&#8212SPICE Simulations and Practical Designs, by Christophe P. Basso ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Power efficiency is a fundamental characteristic of any switch-mode power supply (SMPS), and its measure generally ...

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 ...

An effective and long-lasting power supply is the backbone of any IoT device. Switch-mode power supplies (SMPSs) are undoubtedly good for powering IoT devices, but most of them are bulky and expensive ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

“They don’t build ’em like they used to.” There’s plenty of truth to that old saw, especially when a switch-mode power supply from the 1940s still works with its original parts. But when said power ...

I've got a perfectly working 8500/180 and a beige G3 tower with a toasted power supply. They are both sitting there collecting dust. I wouldn't mind getting the G3 going again with OS-X but I don't ...

Comnet announced the release of an ultra-resilient, high-power PoE switch, the first in its new line of IEEE802.3bt-compliant Ethernet switches: the CNGE10FX2TX8MSBT switch. With 8 RJ45 ports ...

Don’t underestimate the importance of your PC’s power source. A good power supply serves as the cornerstone for a low-maintenance and highly reliable computer. But more often than not, boxed, ...

What if you went to your favorite local restaurant, ordered a meal and the waiter served you 1/2 the portion but charged you full price? Would you feel cheated? Believe it or not,a good deal of home ...
