As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

Designers often want to measure the junction temperature of a DC switching power supply. Knowing a system’s junction temperature is an important and basic requirement from safety and failure mode and ...

Yes, now that Microchip has introduced its PAC1921, which does just that. The trick is that it also has a serial bus that tells the analogue output whether it is representing passing current or rail ...

I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

Common traits of digital multimeters (DMMs). Classifying DMMs by their amount of digits. What role do digitizers play in making voltage measurements? Measuring voltage may be the most basic ...
