In the grand scheme of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous implementation, replacing a driver requires many hardware and software considerations, not only in sensing technology and processing, but also in electromechanical systems to steer and brake the vehicle. The ADAS trend is leading to newer...

The need to respond to changing market standards in a compressed time to market window has led to the widespread use of programmable logic devices (PLDs) in a broad range of consumer applications. While development of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application specific standard parts (ASSPs) requires...
This whitepaper discusses the factors that need to be considered when selecting rated currents of circuit breakers.
Thermal circuit breakers for equipment (CBE) protect motors and transformers against electrical overloading. The trip release of a breaker takes place with the deflection of a bimetal. This deflection...
While Power line carrier communication (PLCC) is useful in non-critical applications, the purpose of this article is to explain real-time challenges posed by PLCC in critical applications where human safety is a priority.

To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...
When considering gate drive requirements, the three most important parameters for eGaN FETs are (1) the maximum allowable gate voltage, (2) the gate threshold voltage, and (3) the “body diode” voltage drop.
eGaN FETs differ from their silicon counterparts because of their significantly faster switching...
This white paper provides examples of the wider frequency spectrum covered by ADI, and explains that true dc is important. Off signal chain performance is also critical, and this paper shows how low noise, high stability control, and power components are important to overall RF signal performance.

This White Paper discusses the common mistakes made in using power strips in healthcare applications and introduces a methodology to promote safety and compliance.
Moreover, this White Paper examines the most current codes and standards governing power strips in healthcare applications and the ways those codes and...
Improvements in AC/DC power supply design are evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. It’s easy to settle for tried-and-tested approaches because no one new design technique is likely to yield great benefits. The design challenge is to establish what small enhancements can be made in various parts of the design...
Every electronic system needs a timing device. And crystal (XTAL) resonators are often the go-to solution. However, oscillators, which pair a resonator with an oscillator IC into one complete integrated timing device, offer several benefits compared to XTALs. These benefits are further extended with MEMS timing technology....
Power design in data centers is getting substantial attention—particularly by facilities and engineering personnel—as organizations pursue constant improvements in reliability and energy efficiency.
At the same time, however, many IT professionals tend to spend little time or energy on the specific products...
Powder packing machines are used to automatically fill pouches with pharmaceutical powder. In recent years, market demand for improved filling accuracy, processing speed, and reduced device size has increased.
When powder is loaded into the hopper, some suspended powder may be inhaled by workers. For this reason,...
This paper introduces a new DC/DC power supply architecture, called “Yeaman Topology”. The main characteristic of this topology is to separate the output voltage regulation function from the bulk power conversion function, implementing two stages that share a common input, and have their outputs in series....
