As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

Noise from the power supply, linear regulators, and voltage references is a major contributor to the limitations of system performance, especially in instrumentation and communications products. In ...

Measuring AC current (220-V mains RMS current) is not as simple as measuring DC current. In DC current measurement, you can simply hook the oscilloscope probe to the shunt resistor and calculate the ...

We all know how to block the DC offset of an AC signal — that just requires putting a capacitor in series, right? But what if the AC signal doesn’t alternate very often? In that case, things get a ...

Measuring a floating dc voltage using a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC), with the dc+ to dc– ranging from 2.5 to 30 V and the low side able to float as high as 120 V above logic ...
