How to make a simple nonmagnetic AC/DC power supply
When creating an industrial power supply, one of the most common challenges is transforming the AC voltage supply into a DC voltage supply. Changing an AC voltage to a DC voltage is necessary for nearly every application, from charging cellphones to powering a microcontroller for a microwave. Typically, this conversion occurs through the use of a transformer...

The need for current sensing in optical modules for 100G and beyond
Industry pundits have recently speculated that demand for 100G/400G switches may take off in 2019, prompting optical transceiver module vendors to sample data center switches with high data transmission rates earlier than expected. As data center operators accelerate upgrades in preparation for 5G, demand for 100G/400G transceiver modules will become...

What are isolated digital inputs?
Although they might sound similar, there are actually some noteworthy differences between isolated digital inputs and digital isolators. After reading this post, I hope it will be easy for you to tell the differences between the two isolation functions. Internal structure Digital isolators serve the basic (or often reinforced!) function of providing...

Power to the pedal: Achieving longer-lasting 13S, 48-V lithium-ion battery packs for e-bikes and e-scooters
The rise in popularity of e-bikes and e-scooters demands an increasing need for longer-lasting e-bike/e-scooter battery packs. A longer run time allows for further travel and less frequent charging. To achieve longer-lasting lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, you can choose one of two methods: either increase the total battery capacity or improve the...

What’s with chirping smoke detectors?
Most homeowners and apartment dwellers can relate to being woken up in the middle of the night by a chirping smoke detector that needs a new battery. Usually, the smoke detector is installed in a hard-to-access location, so silencing the alarm involves engaging in acrobatics with a broomstick or some other similar object. Why do smoke detector batteries...

Gain ultra-high power density for 100-W USB Power Delivery adapters
The USB Power Delivery (PD) standard enables power delivery via USB up to 100 W, which is sufficient enough to drive high power rated devices like laptops, monitors and DLP® movie projectors. USB PD adapters traditionally use an inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) or quasi-resonant (QR) flyback for isolated DC/DC conversion. The benefit of an LLC...

How to achieve fast frequency hopping
Frequency hopping describes a method in which communication systems rapidly change their operating frequency for purposes specific to their application. Applications such as communications, radar and electronic warfare use frequency hopping in order to avoid interference or detection, or to detect cloaked signals. The faster these systems can change...
