Editor's NoteThe electric power industry is emerging as a driving force for the Korean economy, following automobiles and semiconductors. For a long ...

While simple voltage converters can generate a fixed output voltage from an input voltage, this behavior isn’t sufficient in certain applications. An example is the control of a voltage node that has ...

This isolated current regulator produces currents up to ±10 A, depending on load configuration, with current determined by the tap chosen and a 0- to 1-V control voltage V ISET. When measuring the ...

We have been looking at the history of some HVDC devices such as the mercury-arc valve and the thyristor valve for the past few months. The mercury-arc valve made HVDC transmission possible (1950s), ...

Remember that old expression, “May you live in interesting times?” Some say it’s a curse, while others say it’s a blessing. For a techie, it’s a saying that describes what’s taking place in the power ...

The UCC28880 is a high voltage, lowest quiescent current, off-line switcher designed for non-isolated AC to DC conversion. This device incorporates the controller and a 700-V power MOSFET into one ...

[Afroman] contacted us to share his new video on the LM317. The humble LM317 adjustable voltage regulator is everywhere. From wifi routers, to high spec lab equipment. Given a noisy input and a ...

This is an overview of the destructive effects that voltage drive has on the performance of electrodynamic loudspeakers. A more comprehensive treatment of the subject can be found in the book ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how ...
