Termination resistors and the ratio units of voltage and power — dB — are interrelated topics. The dB units can refer to voltage or power, and conversions between voltage dB units and power dB units ...

UnitedSiC has launched a simple on-line design tool to calculate power losses and other parameters for power supplies using the company’s silicon carbide transistors and diodes. Called FET-Jet ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Stepdown (buck) switching converters are integral to modern electronics. They can convert a voltage source (typically 8 V to 25 V) into a lower regulated voltage (typically 0.5 V to 5 V). Stepdown ...

step-down transformers decrease the voltage. The transformer in the diagram above is a step-down transformer – there are fewer turns on the secondary coil than on the primary coil. Type of transformer ...
