The LT3796 series of 100V, high-side current sense DC/DC controllers from Linear Technology are designed to regulate a constant current or voltage. Used for driving high brightness LEDs, the devices’ ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) introduced a power management controller with 4- and 6-bit voltage identification (VID) interfaces. The LM10011 is the first VID controller designed to operate ...

Simple linear and switching voltage regulators with feedback networks of the type shown in Figure 1 are legion. Their output voltages are the reference voltage at the feedback (FB) pin multiplied by 1 ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...

Abstract: The three-level boost (TLB) PFC converter offers advantages such as lower voltage stress on switches and diodes, reduced size and volume of passive components, and minimized EMI and core ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel decentralized voltage controller that enforces state constrains at all times and significantly enhances the transient response of DC Microgrid networks with ...

ACCORDING TO THE American Wind Energy Association, by the end of 2001, an additional 2000 MW of wind power will be added in the U.S. This new capacity includes four new wind farms of 200 MW or more ...
