These days switching power supplies are nearly ubiquitous and used throughout every electronic devices. They are valued for their small size, low cost, and efficiency. However, they have the major ...

Design Inputs are the king of medical device product development. If a product in the market has issues, I bet the Design Inputs defined during product development were insufficient. Design Inputs are ...

What are output capacitors and how do they impact power supplies? Simulating a circuit to reduce the amount of capacitors in a supply. What is adaptive voltage positioning? A power supply’s output ...

If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...

The LTM4644 integrates four separate constant frequency controlled on-time valley current-mode regulators, power MOSFETs, inductors, and other supporting discrete components (Fig. 1). Each of the four ...

Editor’s note: As you can see, Michael Steffes puts a great deal of ‘blood, sweat, and tears”, with a generous helping of his long and extensive Op Amp knowledge, into these blogs. This series of ...
