A bi-directional current source for a grounded load will always have some complication in its construction. The improved Howland Current Pump as shown in Figure 1 is the most frequent choice for this ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...

In power supplies, dc-dc converters and many other power electronics circuits, chokes and transformers form an essential part of the filter network that provides low-ripple dc power. In many designs, ...

Part 1 of this series discussed what characteristics make up a good load slammer. This article discusses how to use load slammers effectively to design, evaluate, debug, and validate your on-board ...

In a world of tight timelines and ever-increasing performance requirements, it’s critical to create circuit designs right the first time; thus, engineers in the analog and mixed-signal industry often ...
