Improving the efficiency of a power-supply design can yield many rewards. In a server farm, better efficiency translates into smaller size, reduced cooling costs, and a lower electricity bill. In a ...

The vast majority of bearing failures in electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment are due to mechanical and thermal causes. However, currents that flow through induction motor bearings can ...

Rohm has created a set of six current sense amplifiers with AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. They work with external shunt resistors, and there are two basic types: one (BD1423xFVJ-C) that ...

The DIA2240 device is an automotive qualified high precision, bidirectional and zero-drift current sense amplifier with enhance PWN rejection. The device sense drops across the shunt resistor over a ...

The two most common forms of control in dc/dc switching power converters are CM (current-mode) and VM (voltage-mode) control. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. CM control provides ...
