Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) is widely used in today's power supplies. Government regulations and customer requirements must be satisfied when designing these circuits. Increasingly, ...

This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

I need a circuit to limit the voltage across some dissipation limited devices. It must: limit the voltage to a maximum of 1.5 V, have symmetrical limiting, be capable of accepting a current of 2 A, ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Did you know that your shunt regulator is in danger? Don’t worry—the fix is free (and free is good). A feedback circuit ...

Engineers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a small electronic device that can siphon off excess electricity and send it to ground in just a few billionths of a second while operating at ...
