For years, transients generated on the utility grid have plagued industrial and commercial facilities with a high concentration of variable-speed drives (VSDs) and other sensitive loads. The common ...

Here is the first of three short tech nuggets (courtesy of Rich Nowakowski, TI) before our “Ask the experts” session on Wednesday, July 23 at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT). Hopefully these brief blogs ...

Protecting susceptible electronic equipment from AC power line disturbances is a major concern for most people, whether their business environment is commercial or industrial. No matter what the ...

The transient performance and frequency stability of hysteretic-based synchronous DC-DC converter ICs can be improved with ramp control and adaptive on-time techniques. The control method used in a ...

Voltage transients in MV power systems have been observed to contribute to failures of both power and instrument transformers in data centers in recent years. This white paper provides a background ...

Direct current-to-direct current (DC/DC) converters with faster switching frequencies are becoming popular due to their ability to decrease the size of the output capacitor and inductor to save board ...

Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters are DC-DC switching regulators that use only capacitors and switches to transfer charges between the input and the output. This architecture is an alternative ...

ABB has released the Switching Control Sentinel (SCS) device designed for high-voltage circuit breakers. Voltage and current transients generated during switching of high-voltage circuit breakers are ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC7860, a high efficiency switching surge stopper with overvoltage and overcurrent protection for high availability systems. During normal operation the ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3988, a 60VIN step-down switching regulator that can deliver dual 1A outputs. Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3988, a 60VIN step-down ...
