A simple method of charging a battery from a higher voltage battery is shown in the circuit below to the left. Only one resistor is needed to set the desired charging current and is calculated by ...

Current source inverters and converters represent a crucial class of power electronics devices that convert direct current from a constant current source into alternating currents with precise control ...

The current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) is a derivative of the current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA), originally proposed by Acar C and Ozoguz S. The main advantage of a CDBA is ...

At first glance, [RobBest]’s constant current source looks old school. The box is somewhat old-fashioned, featuring switches and binding posts. Most importantly, there’s a large analog meter ...

Fault protection is a critical function of all power supply controllers. Nearly all applications require some kind of over-load protection. For peak current-mode controllers this is easily ...
