A new IC-based approach to EMI filtering in ac-dc power subsystems dramatically cuts inductor size and offers other benefits as well. The nature of the EMI problem in ac-dc supplies and its ...

The consequences can be costly, ranging from production downtime to compromised equipment and even safety hazards. Certainly, capacitors are indeed responsible for 30% of power electronics failures, ...

AC/DC power supplies are used in several electronic devices, encompassing computers, smartphones, radios, and TVs. AC/DC power supplies come in many dimensions and configurations, tailored to suit the ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

This AC Power Monitor continuously watches the AC power line voltage for both under-voltage and missing cycles. When it detects a total of 5 or 6 consecutive missing half-cycles (50mS, 50/60HZ), it ...

The harnessing of electricity has played a pivotal role in human history and has exponentially expedited our growth as a species. Since becoming a household commodity in the late 19th century, ...
