A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

If you want to easily control the power in a circuit, you’ll probably reach for the classic toggle switch. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, physical toggles are a bit dated at this ...

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the electricity used to light businesses represents 25% of the energy they spend, so it's important to develop energy-saving devices. Now engineers at the ...

Working on an embedded project? An 8-bit microcontroller with a pulsewidthmodulation (PWM) peripheral can provide a low-cost and easy solution to adding natural voice to your next embedded endeavor.

I needed a simple LED indicator showing that a particular voltage level had been reached—specifically, that a capacitor had charged to a particular potential. I was convinced that there must be a way ...
