Mechanical switches can be noisy, generating multiple transient pulses that may cause faulty operation of fast digital circuits. In this design, a pair of MOSFETs are ...

Adding a high-side MOSFET switch to the conventional forward and flyback power converter design brings many benefits, especially in higher input-voltage applications. With the resulting two-switch ...

This FET has the over temperature shut-down capability sensing to the junction temperature. This FET has the built-in over temperature shut-down circuit in the gate area. And this circuit operation to ...

As electronics engineer I have a mental collection of circuits that I’ve gathered over the years, much like a mechanic collects specialized tools as they work. All engineers do this and the tools in ...

Mission critical servers and communications equipment must continue to operate, even as circuit boards and cards are plugged-in or pulled-out for maintenance and capacity adjustment. Hot swap ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...
