I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

Designed to protect low-voltage systems up to 28 V, the MAX4959 and MAX4960 over-voltage protection (OVP) controllers include battery-switchover capability. The devices provide resistor-programmable ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

Read part 1 of this series on construction and operating principles here. Having understood the construction and basic operating principle of BLDC motor in the first part of this article, it becomes ...

Every living cell maintains a voltage across the cell membrane that results from differences in the concentrations of charged ions inside and outside the cell. In an impressive proof-of-concept ...
