Many of today’s switching power supplies implement synchronous rectifiers to improve efficiency. In isolated topologies, the power-supply controller typically is located on the primary side of the ...

While metastability—an indeterminate state in a digital circuit—is far from a new topic, increasingly faster signal rates can put your design at greater disk to the phenomena. Certainly you should ...

Signal and power isolation using a DC-DC converter implementation. The importance of isolation in medical equipment. A self-driven synchronous-rectifier circuit to isolate high voltage. One of the ...

A voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) can easily measure current flow and convert it to a digital signal understood by the timer/counter input of a microcomputer (µC) or microprocessor. It's a ...

The synchronous condenser was once an antiquated relic of the past. Utilities celebrated the removal of the last synchronous condenser from their system. Others who still needed them used them quietly ...
