  How to achieve higher system robustness in DC drives, part 3: minimum input pulse

  Have you ever been watching your favorite show and noticed a blur or partial screen freeze? I think it was caused by an incorrect timing of the refresh. For proper operation in a half-bridge power train, such as DC drives, it is important that the timing...

  How to achieve higher system robustness in DC drives, part 2: interlock and deadtime

  While commuting to work, waiting for a traffic light I noticed the green and red light sequence that prevents traffic flow conflicts, or crashes. The crossing traffic directions are out of sequence to ensure safe driving. Also the yellow gives a little...

  How to achieve higher system robustness in DC drives, part 1: negative voltage

  I recently moved to a new apartment, so I decided to go shopping for a vacuum cleaner. As I walked around the appliances section, I noticed how many of the vacuums were cordless. The manufacturers also seemed to be advertising more suction power, longer...

  A bite-size gate drive: replacing BJTs with an integrated solution

  Sushi is wonderful. It packs a fresh, satisfying flavor into a small package that melds the subtleties of just a few ingredients to make something special. It reminds me of the ideal power supply: a small, efficient collection of stages that produces...

  The story of motor-drive integration

  Just like every MOSFET needs a gate driver to switch it, there’s always a driving force behind each motor. Depending on the complexity level and the system’s cost, size and performance requirements, there are different ways to drive motors...

  Pile on to a charger – my EV needs power

  Whenever I have a conversation about electric vehicles (EVs), I often hear the opinion that these vehicles do not have enough range to drive long distances. To a large extent that is true, even though Tesla and several other car vendors are rolling out...
