Any time you are working with burglar alarm, access control, sound, nurse call, or intercom systems, as well as computer networks, lighting dimmer controls, and low-voltage industrial controls, you ...

A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...

The latest microcontrollers featuring field-oriented control bring higher efficiency to motor-control circuit designs in consumer ...

Shutting down inactive circuitry can save substantial power; however, this kind of power management assumes there is an actively managing “brain” (typically a microcontroller) that knows when to turn ...

A new type of device provides designers of automated installations for North America with performance, cost, and safety benefits. Industrial machinery and equipment system designs typically rely on ...

One simulates up to 50× faster than the other, and both will give you comparable accuracy. Which engine would you choose for your power supply circuit? Sounds like a trick question, but it isn’t.

In a twist on nontraditional uses of ultrasound, neuroscientists have developed pulsed ultrasound techniques that can remotely stimulate brain circuit activity. The findings provide insights into how ...

Wherever circuits need protection against current overloads or short circuits, you’ll find circuit breakers. They range from fingernail-sized devices for semiconductor protection to truck-sized ...
