For most industrial applications, engineers need a high-side switch to control inductive loads. The challenge is how to discharge the energy in the inductor when the switch opens and current flow ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

Worcester, Mass. – Allegro Micro-Systems Inc.'s half-bridge pre-driver IC, the A3946, is designed to drive brush dc motors, three-phase brushless dc motors, switched-reluctance motors and other large ...

As electronics engineer I have a mental collection of circuits that I’ve gathered over the years, much like a mechanic collects specialized tools as they work. All engineers do this and the tools in ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments Even though gallium-nitride transistors are becoming a more popular solution in terms of power switching, the venerable MOSFET still can be used effectively in current ...
