Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

Poor power supply quality—in the form of dips, dropouts, and other voltage variations—can result in electrical malfunctions that can have serious consequences. To verify that automotive systems will ...

Voltage fluctuations inside buildings are a common but often misunderstood problem. Lights flicker, appliances behave erratically, electronic devices reset unexpectedly, and motors sound strained.

As a fundamental concept of electronic design, voltage drop ranks highly as one to understand well. I particularly appreciate when industry folks come up with creative ways to get the point across.

The 100 V Gen 2 TMBS rectifier modules from Vishay Intertechnology are fully insulated devices in a compact SOT-227 package ...

It’s hard to argue with the fact that managing power is a primary challenge in modern SoC design as the industry moves to smaller technology nodes. While low-power design starts at the architectural ...

Despite the widespread availability and use of low-power components, today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) can require a significant amount of current, with boards drawing 50, 100, and even 200 A in ...

Environmental systems that precipitate dust and carbon particles frequently use high-voltage dc power supplies. However, failure of high-voltage components caused by a change in their properties over ...

Voltage drop at advanced nodes is a deadly serious problem that has become unmanageable with the methodologies used by most chip designers today. This article will cover the reasons why power ...

Today, distributed energy resources such as distributed generation and local energy storage present the most worrisome challenge to effective voltage control. Controlling voltage is a fundamental task ...
