As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Bob Zollo, Product Planner, Power and Energy Division, Keysight Technologies Efficient use of energy is a key factor in ...

Thousands of applications require a circuit to measure a small current. One of the most common is the measurement of photodiode current to infer the light impinging on the diode. Scientific ...

Monitoring the current taken by a mains-powered appliance can be a challenge, particularly if the application demands an inexpensive solution that must provide galvanic isolation for user safety.

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...
