At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Today, regulatory agencies (EN/IEC61000-3-2) have legislation requiring units that draw power over 75 watts have a specified-level of harmonic content. This legislation was enacted to allow the ...

This current-limiting circuit, shown in this example as part of a small bench power supply, could in principle be used in conjunction with any dual-rail current source. The part of the circuit to the ...

Scientists in India have developed a 500 W seven-level inverter prototype based on switched capacitors. The device is reportedly able to achieve a high efficiency despite switching, conduction, and ...

Texas Instruments has created a series of precision current monitors with digital outputs, for use across power rails from -100mV to +85V, at up to ±78.64A. In each case, an internal ΣΔ ADC measures ...
