Two terms that need be defined first are peak power and continuous power. Peak power is the maximum instantaneous audio power. It will determine how much power to design for the supply to physically ...

Mastering the nuances of modern ac-dc power supply selection ...

The design for a 3.5-watt power supply requires only two external components to the IC-the Vcc capacitor (which can be as low as 1 F) and the Rsense resistor. You can still control the MOSFET's gate, ...

This design may seem generic because it has many of the standard features common to a switching power-supply design. However, this design exploits the power of the microcontroller to add a number ...

Different components affect system accuracy. Shaury Anand, of Texas Instruments, explains how to choose those most suitable for a precision DC power supply design. Test and measurement applications ...

When reaching for a power supply design it’s normal here in 2022 to reach for a switching design. They’re lightweight, very efficient, and often available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices.

As long as you’re doing bipolar power design, you might as well enter it in the op amp contest, which is running right now. If you need some simulation practice with op amps, we can help there, too.

A 3-channel DC differential amplifier from Measurement Specialties exhibits an exceptionally low noise of less than 20 µVrms. The new Model 121 enables precision measurement on up to three ...
