The circuit was designed to provide protection to the output of power amplifier thereby protecting the loudspeaker from unwanted noise and other elements. Power Amplifier – a type of amplifier built ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

RF instruments and wireless transceivers often feature an input for an external reference clock, such as the ubiquitous 10MHz reference input port found on RF instruments. Many of these same systems ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

Power systems dedicated to next-generation high-performance blade servers, datacenters, storage and communication infrastructure systems are a group that “feels the need--the need for speed!” ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has expanded its electronic fuse (eFuse) lineup with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series. The five new products are the TCKE601RA, TCKE601RL, TCKE602RM, TCKE603RA, ...

Chris Gammell wants to know: What’s in your circuit toolbox? Personally, mine is somewhat understocked. I do know that in one of my journals, probably from back in the 1980s, I scribbled down a ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe expands its range of electronic fuse devices with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series.

A VFD reports a low-volts fault when the drive's dc link voltage drops below 62% of the nominal level for the high setting (480 Vac) and 50% of nominal for the low setting (400 Vac). The +10% and -15% ...

Circuit breakers now sport advanced features that include remote control and operational status reporting. Engineers have long considered circuit protection a stable if somewhat unglamorous area.
