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 ...
For the PDF version of this article, click here. High performance microprocessors require a low-voltage, high-current power supply with fast transient response. Therefore, interleaved multiphase ...
This sensor device is built to measure the amount of current being used, especially in power supplies as the design is based on Arduino. The main component used is the ACS712 sensor from Allegro ...
Isolation in this case, is from the mains, and it transpires that finding something that will do the job safely is tricky. Three isolated Hall-based current sensing modules are easy to obtain, as far ...
Current sensing remains a challenge and while most engineers use DCR current sensing it is notoriously inaccurate. So what can be done to improve accuracy? The buck converter is the most common power ...
Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
Electrification has created a new paradigm in automotive power systems; whether the design is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or fully electric vehicle (EV), there are new design challenges to address ...
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 ...
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 ...
