The following white paper uses a typical off-the-shelf isolated DC-DC converter to demonstrate how an active filter will not only provide superior filtering, as compared to the passive approach, but will also provide a simple turnkey solution to meet challenging transient response requirements.
The performance...

This Application Note was written to provide insight into the one time requirement for ‘type’ testing of power supplies by the safety agency or manufacturer. It will assist in the interpretation of requirements for this testing and provide broad guidelines on exactly what is required of the manufacturer in...

The design of AC/DC power supplies is inevitably evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It develops largely as a result of gradual improvements in semiconductors and passive component technologies and materials. Invariably, power supply design objectives involve not only meeting basic input and output specifications...

The use of different crystal cuts in frequency control applications result in different performance. This paper will discuss the AT cut and SC cut performance along with cost trade-offs of the two cuts. Since the SC is primarily used for ovenized applications, this will be the focus.
The SC and AT cuts have different...

Most engineers think of flat cable as inexpensive wiring that runs between computer peripherals. But not all flat cable is created the same. There is a special category of flat cable that excels in uses where space efficiency isn’t the only consideration. What’s called Extruded Flexx-Sil™ cable is designed...

When transitioning from a traditional phone network to a voice over IP (VoIP) network, it is essential to recognize a key difference between the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and the private data network that will be called upon to take its place.
The PSTN is connected to a massive battery array that allows...

Solutions to problems such as excessive noise levels or objectionable sound signatures to inaccuracies in a high precision positioning system, can be easily implemented if they are considered early enough in the product’s design cycle, ideally at the beginning. This article examines a few real-world vibration problems...

Previously published articles showed that eGaN FETs behave for the most part just like silicon devices and can be evaluated using similar performance metrics.
In this white paper the die size optimization process for selecting the eGaN FET optimal on-resistance is discussed and an example application is used...
