Simply put, designing a power supply is a major undertaking. After making your build vs. buy decision, you face a myriad of circuit choices—more than you probably realize. Building a power supply used ...

This paper presents design guidelines for switching mode power supply using 900V switching regulator-MP110 from MPS, including Flyback and Buck converter as shown in Figure-1 and Figure-2. MP110 is ...

Today’s electronic systems are becoming more and more complex, with an increasing number of power rails and supplies. To achieve optimum power solution density, reliability and cost, often system ...

Ideally switch-mode power supplies would behave like mathematical models. But since they don’t you need to perform thorough characterization and troubleshooting. Fortunately, modern oscilloscopes are ...

Common switch-mode power supply design errors and their appropriate rectification are discussed by Abe Ibraheim, Kenneth Armijo and Piyu Dhaker. Power transistors have a minimum and maximum duty cycle ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...
