Onkyo is unveiling two new network streamers and Integrated amplifiers at CES 2026. The Muse Series combine the brand’s ...

SCR speed controllers that supply 180Vdc motors from 240Vac mains are wonderfully robust, but have the drawback that they always present fast-rising voltage edges to the motor’s armature at a 100Hz ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

Onkyo marks its 80th anniversary with the Muse Y-40 and Y-50—compact streaming integrated amps with AirPlay 2, MM/MC phono, and HDMI ARC.

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

Onkyo unveils Muse Series Y-50 and Y-40 network integrated amplifiers at CES 2026, combining 80 years of audio heritage with ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

These similar power-measurement ICs tackle the often necessary but energy-consuming task of continuous power measurement and ...
