The junior system designer often places the system's power requirements at the end of the list, and thus overlooks the importance of an isolated, versus non-isolated AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC, or DC/DC ...

In LEDs heat and high currents hasten the dimming process which can lead to unreliable operation in LED-powered optocouplers. Some simple and straight-forward analysis will keep their light shining ...

Optocouplers provide high-voltage isolation between a low-voltage device like a microcontroller or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator and a high-voltage device like an intelligent or integrated ...

Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductors are rapidly emerging in the commercial market. These devices offer several benefits over conventional Silicon-based power semiconductors. SiC MOSFETs can ...

An optocoupler-isolated power supply is often the safest and most practical way to go when it comes to performance and protection. Here's the basics on today's LED/photodetector isolators and what you ...
