This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

Tactile switches with advanced contact materials improve signal integrity, durability, and lifecycle performance in demanding ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

Nothing brings joy to a hacker’s heart like taking a cheap gizmo and making it useful. Over at Hackaday.io [AndyHull] popped open some cheap LiPo battery power packs to see if he could power a Canon ...

Abstract: In this study, a SiC MOSFET circuit simulation model capable of predicting ultrahigh-temperature operation, including short-circuit conditions, was developed. A fundamental structure ...

Abstract: Reversely switched dynistor (RSD) is a solid-state semiconductor switch with very high critical switched current rising rate and peak forward current. As a two-terminal switch, the RSD is ...
