In high-voltage power-supply designs, safety concerns require isolating the high-voltage input from the low-voltage output. Designers typically use magnetic isolation in a transformer for power ...

Existing test solutions aren’t always suitable for the latest improvements in switching regulator technology. Transient load testing can address these inequities. In response to the recent ...

Part 1 of this series discussed what characteristics make up a good load slammer. This article discusses how to use load slammers effectively to design, evaluate, debug, and validate your on-board ...

Before you get into the details of a design, you can use a general technique to locate places at which added test points or components can increase testability. First, draw a diagram that includes the ...
