The flyback DC/DC converter topology results in significant cost and space savings for multiple-output power supplies with high output voltage for power levels up to 100 W. Flyback topologies store ...

Depending on the series, the TVS diodes are specified for an operating temperature range from –55C to +150C, making them suitable for harsh environmental conditions. For automotive applications, ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

Electric utility engineers designing new transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and evaluating existing systems have relied on sophisticated software programs that can simulate transients. Now ...

Simple linear assistance can cut transient errors in DC-DC converters without wrecking stability, according to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. It described a 30MHz DC-DC converter ...

Decoupling and bulk capacitance are used to limit the voltage deviation of dc-dc converters in the face of load steps. Yet, requirements for high power density and low cost often dictate that the ...

Power systems for networking and communications systems must be able to respond to the transient power needs of powerful system processors such as DSPs, FPGAs, Asics, and microprocessors. Texas ...

Varistors, also called metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), are used to protect sensitive circuits from a variety of overvoltage conditions. Essentially, these voltage-dependent, nonlinear devices have ...
