Designing Dimming Circuits for Fluorescent Lamps is a challenging task typically realized using a complex, high-pin-count control IC. Compared with non-dimming designs, dimming circuit ICs: Are more ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

A DC-DC Converter with fixed compensation parameters cannot perform well if load dynamics vary widely. A better approach is adaptive control, which can handle a broad range of parameter variations ...

Suited for high-end multichannel audio systems, the CS3318 digitally controlled analog volume control IC claims to offer superior audio quality as a result of its 127-dB dynamic range and THD+N of ...

Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

Analog Devices, Inc., a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, introduced a complete HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) modem IC (integrated ...

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we presented a 3-phase, 480VAC motor circuit with its associated controls (Figure). We stepped through a logical, systematic approach to troubleshoot the main power ...

This study addresses the problems of critical conduction mode (CRM) Boost-PFC circuit switch tubes(switch tubes are semiconductor devices like MOSFET that control ...
