One of the biggest contributors to power loss in power conversion circuits (DC-DC, AC-DC) are resistive losses when the semiconductor switches are in the ON stage. In order to create industry-leading ...

The world has turned to renewable energy in an attempt to wean itself from depleting carbon-based sources. The increase in the number of solar, wind, wave, and tidal power sources has pushed the need ...

In Part 1 of this five-part series, we examined FET voltage controlled resistors, basic voltage controlled resistor circuits, and a balanced or push pull voltage controlled resistor (VCR) circuit.

Batteries based on the nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion) chemistries have largely replaced the older nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery in many of today’s applications. Still, NiCds are ...
