In the control of nonlinear and linear systems, sometimes a slight nonlinearity is intentionally inserted into the closed control loop. “Slight” here means that the output of the inserted element ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

LEDs usually take their drive from a constant dc-current source to maintain constant luminescence. Most dc/dc converters, however, deliver a constant voltage by ...

In low-power USB and offline wall adapters, quasi-resonant and discontinuous current mode flyback converter topologies are a popular choice due to their low parts count and relatively low cost.

The world’s first commercial high-voltage direct current converter station, located in New Brunswick, Canada, was recognized as an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing on Feb. 24.

The MT3608 is a popular boost converter, able to easily step up DC voltages in useful ranges, at an incredibly low cost. Modules can be sourced from eBay for less than $2, built on a PCB, ready to go.
