Another way to reduce the inrush current is to reduce the load on the converter during start up. This lowers the load dependent part of the inrush current and leaves just the part due to the input ...

Semiconductor memory, card readers, microprocessors, disk drives, piezoelectric devices, and digital systems create transient loads that voltage regulators must service. Ideally, regulator output ...

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 ...

The previous article in this series discussed types of testing that can potentially be performed with load slammers. In this last installment, we show some scope plots of actual testing using a load ...

Today in power electronics, the folks over at Texas Instruments have put together a video covering low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators. For a hacker, power is pretty fundamental, so it behooves us ...

Electrical equipment that operates below its voltage rating can overheat or power down. Here's how to determine your load's operating voltage. Voltage drop across switchgear and feeder and branch ...

130iHP_PMU_02 is designed to form stabilized voltage with overcurrent indication (bit OVC). The block has configurable output voltage (2.3 / 2.4 / 2.5 ...
