Linear Technology Corp.’s new LTC3723 push-pull synchronous PWM controller is specifically targeted toward compact and highly efficient isolated power supplies. The LTC3723 controller's basic features ...

The NCP1247USBPDGEVB evaluation board is a flyback-topology switched-mode power supply designed for USB PD (power delivery) applications. The regulation of switched-mode power supply is ensured by the ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Over the years, power supply designers have been persuaded that current mode is superior to its voltage-mode counterpart. As a result, the major PWM ...

Proper thermal dissipation is an essential rule for nowadays electronics. The best operating temperature for the electronic components is 25 degrees (standard room temperature). Thermal dissipation in ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

Normal fan ports are only 1 amp, so I don't typically like running more than one fan per. That's only 5 watts, after all. Normal fan ports are 12V, not 5V. A lot of 12V fans won't even start at 5V, ...
