Inductors can be found in many of the devices you use every day, but if you’ve been working only with DC in your projects there’s a good chance you’ve never needed to know anything about them. Now’s ...

For example, when a motor is is being driven by MOSFETs in an H-bridge circuit everything is fine. But when the current to the motor is stopped, the collapsing magnetic field of the inductor will ...

Peter Green explains advantages of LED drivers based on the flyback power-supply topology: They're inexpensive; they provide an isolated output that complies with UL safety requirements; they make it ...

LED-based light fixtures and bulb replacements arenow rapidly replacing incandescent, halogen, andCFL (compact-fluorescent-lamp) light sources inmany general-lighting applications. Flyback ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.
