Whenever a semiconductor or system changes state, there’s a good chance that the current it draws will also change. A typical example is a cell phone, which draws more current when you make a call or ...

Waveform generation and current conveyor applications constitute a dynamic field within modern electronics, underpinning advancements in signal processing, sensor interfacing and control systems.

IEC 61000-4-2, the Basic Standard for electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity (Ref. 1), is being revised to change how the standard defines ESD test waveforms. Proposals to the standard aim to define a ...

Santa Rosa, CA. Keysight Technologies today introduced the world’s first analyzer enabling a minimum of 100-pA level dynamic current measurements with a maximum of 200 MHz bandwidth, 1-GS/s sampling ...

Fig 1. The buck converter schematic shows the voltage feedback loop and the fast peak CMC loop. The current waveform as seen by the shunt is the dominant signal at the ramp of the PWM comparator. Fig ...

While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...

The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

Variable speed drives (VSDs), sometimes also known as variable frequency drives, are electronic devices used to regulate the speed of an ac induction motor. Electric motors consume approximately 25% ...

Low power factor reduces an electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow. Therefore, having a low power factor is inefficient and expensive. But what is power factor and what ...

From Europe to the Pacific, the signals above the horizon that carry real-time battlefield communications are fundamental to the Army’s arsenal to achieve overmatch against sophisticated adversaries.
