The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Low-voltage CMOS analog circuit design has emerged as a critical area of research, driven by the dual imperatives of energy efficiency and high-performance signal processing. This discipline focuses ...

I picked up some pulse width modulation to voltage converter modules. You’ve seen these before under a variety of names. They look amazing for the price, but there are a few little things you might ...

Low-voltage circuit breakers are predominant in virtually every electrical power system. Several years ago, Shermco Industries surveyed NETA-accredited companies for the IEEE Electrical Safety ...

Unpacking the challenges with high-voltage power conversion and how SiC fits in. The pivotal advantages of SiC over traditional silicon in next-gen power converters. Rethinking circuit design for ...

In an earlier blog post I did a teardown analysis of the XL4015 DC-DC Buck Converter module. I recently received an improved version of the same module. I purchased it from an online seller in China.
