To understand a series circuit, visualize it. You can do that by making a drawing. Just draw a box, to start with. This box represents your circuit. Notice there is only one path: the perimeter of the ...

For one-off projects or prototyping, it’s not too hard to find a wall wart or power supply to send a few joules of energy from the wall outlet to your circuit. Most of these power supplies us… ...

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 pr… ...

High power IGBT module applications usually require a completely isolated gate drive, as shown In Figure 1. This circuit isolates the logic level control from fault feedback signals using ...

Adapted from The Circuit Designer's Companion, Third Ed., by Peter Wilson (Newnes). [Part 1 began a look at grounding: when to consider it, how chassis materials affect it, and the problem of ground ...
