To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

This project is made out of few junkbox parts and builds a useful constant current load for switch mode power supply, battery testing, and other applications. A dummy load is traditionally a big ...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) have become a major part of the power generation landscape, particularly in support of a ...

Across the U.S., new AI-driven data centers are causing a significant increase in power demand. Carbon Direct projects that data center capacity in the U.S. will grow from roughly 25 GW in 2024 to 120 ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...
