Mechanical switches can be noisy, generating multiple transient pulses that may cause faulty operation of fast digital circuits. In this design, a pair of MOSFETs are ...

Square-root-calculating circuits find wide use in instrumentation and measurement systems for such tasks as calculating the rms (root-mean-square) value of an arbitrary waveform, for example. Hence, ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...

Supercapacitors used in a series are gaining prominence as energy storage devices for a number of applications because of their versatility, utility, and durability. This technology is a relative new ...

High voltage power semiconductor devices are integral components in modern electrical systems, enabling efficient switching and control in a range of applications from renewable energy converters to ...
