There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...
Two of the top considerations in data center and server power-supply unit (PSU) designs are power density and efficiency. Meeting the strictest efficiency standard—80 Plus Titanium—is now a minimum ...
The power supply is the backbone of any electronic device, and its performance is especially critical in the growing mobile consumer market, where not only accuracy but also power efficiency is ...
Maxim has introduced a bi-directional current sense amplifier with pulse-width modulation (PWM) edge rejection. Called MAX40056 it is intended to reduce vibration in motor drives. The claim is that it ...
A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...
Abstract: Soft robotics is a field of robotic system design characterized by materials and structures that exhibit large-scale deformation, high compliance, and rich multifunctionality. The ...
As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...
Power monitoring systems require current sensing and are typically adjacent to, associated with, or integrated with hot swap controllers in server systems. Many designers have expressed a desire to ...
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 ...
