As the number of Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications grows, market pressures are driving designers to lower the cost and complexity of the DC-DC converters that power them, ...

One of the biggest contributors to power loss in power conversion circuits (DC-DC, AC-DC) are resistive losses when the semiconductor switches are in the ON stage. In order to create industry-leading ...

To calculate the resistance of the series resistor required, we need to look at the current and voltage values recommended by the LED manufacturer. Suppose a manufacturer recommends a maximum voltage ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in series ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. The vision of electric vehicles (EVs) as a primary transportation platform is slowly coming of age. EVs are moving away from being seen as eclectic to ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new surface-mount Power Metal Strip current sense resistor that combines a high ...
