In the early stages of designing a high power, high value product, the development team will decide whether to implement the intermediate power stage and Point-of-Load converters using fully ...
Years ago, Tektronix could not justify an expensive, high-performance semiconductor operation solely for producing competition-defeating ICs for oscilloscopes, and formed a joint venture with Maxim ...
How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...
PWM waveforms are commonly used to control the speed of DC motors. The mark/space ratio of the digital wave-form can be defined either by using an adjustable analogue voltage level (in the case of a ...
Many battery-powered applications use diodes for reverse-battery protection. However, a diode does not always protect a battery charger when the battery is inserted incorrectly. Sometimes when the ...
FREMONT, Calif., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Linear Systems, a leader in monolithic dual JFETs and small-signal discrete semiconductor manufacturing, announces the release of JFET Circuit Design: A ...
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has launched the “GT20N135SRA,” a 1350V discrete IGBT for use in voltage resonance circuits in tabletop IH cookers, ...
If the overriding design consideration is cost, it is likely that the development team would opt for a discrete circuit. If time to market is the most important issue or if power density is a critical ...
