The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

As a firm, we’re working on project number 10,000. We started at 500. I always get a chuckle when someone jabs us with, “You’re an engineer, what do you know about construction?” As building ...

You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

This third and final part of the series discusses mechanical and thermal design, including connectors, heatsinks and cooling, and overpower protection. The design challenges for a high-power ...
