Photoflash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high voltage capacitor into a bulb. Operation of these circuits from a battery or other low-voltage source requires a step-up dcdc converter to ...
Most AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters have internal current-limiting circuits to protect the power device, and to some degree its load. The majority of over-current-protections include an ...
Aimtec has introduced the AM1SS-NZ series of DC-DC converters. This new series of 1-watt power supplies provides continuous short circuit protection with auto recovery restart. (Image courtesy of ...
Many portable devices use LCD displays. These displays need large positive and negative power supplies, but most mobile devices have power rails at 5 V, 3.3 V or even lower. Thus, the challenge is not ...
When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...
