This application note is the fourth in a series that excerpts useful circuits from Linear Technology magazine to preserve them for posterity. This application note highlights “power” circuits from ...

Circuits that fall under the requirements of Art. 725 are remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that aren’t an integral part of a device or appliance. Article 725 includes circuits for ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a ...

Power density is a term that more or less defines itself. For a more formal definition consider this: Power density is a measure of the amount of output power of a circuit or device divided by the ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

If you’ve ever tried to make a really low-power circuit — especially one that runs on harvested power — you have probably fallen into at least a few of the many traps that await the unwary in this ...

Advanced power packages are breaking barriers that affect dc, ac and thermal performance in switch-mode power supply circuits for a broad range of applications. Lily Hsiu-shih Chu, Evaluation Engineer ...

Racking in or out a power circuit breaker is simple, right? Although this task sounds pretty straightforward in theory, that’s not always the case. In fact, during years of field work related to ...
