Second-stage output filters are often used to attenuate the output voltage ripple of a switching power supply. They can also isolate one load circuit from another. In this power tip, I will describe ...

These days switching power supplies are nearly ubiquitous and used throughout every electronic devices. They are valued for their small size, low cost, and efficiency. However, they have the major ...

Some applications require a positive voltage to be generated from a negative input voltage. This can be done either by using a transformer based topology, such as a flyback converter, or with a ...

In many system applications, it becomes necessary to adjust a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) output voltage within narrow limits in order to remove tolerances and drops in the power path, verify ...

Cycling performance is often evaluated based on two varying metrics: absolute and relative power output. These metrics provide valuable insights into a cyclist’s fitness and performance capabilities, ...

Learn how power amplifiers work, the common types, and what to lookout for when shopping for amps. You have to find out if the amplifier is a Class A/B analog amp or a Class D digital amplifier before ...
