The circuit in Figure 1 is a high-power analog of the popular TL431 programmable shunt regulator. This two-terminal circuit is convenient when the drain of the P-channel FET is grounded, since it ...

To control system operation, motors require a current measurement, which can be achieved using shunt resistors that provide a simple and cost-effective solution. Motors are used in countless consumer ...

Using a multi-shunt-based current-monitoring circuit with a 50-MHz op amp delivers an overcurrent detection response time of ...

The world has turned to renewable energy in an attempt to wean itself from depleting carbon-based sources. The increase in the number of solar, wind, wave, and tidal power sources has pushed the need ...

Whether squeezing the last millijoule from your battery or operating a cooler CPU board, the goal is to burn less power. For many loads the power dissipation varies as the square of the applied ...

is a device that can be attached to a circuit breaker as one of the circuit breaker accessories. It allows the breaker to be turned off remotely by applying electrical voltage to the shunt trip coil.

To enable more precise external temperature measurements in addition to junction readings, Melexis added an NTC resistor ...

Piezoelectric shunt damping is an innovative method for mitigating unwanted vibrations in structures by exploiting the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric transducers. When bonded to a ...

How do we get this direct current electricity back into the battery? We need to generate about 14v to charge the battery. If we produce much less we will never charge it and, more importantly, if we ...
