To help power supply development, semiconductor companies offer evaluation boards which show a typical application of a power-management IC. This gives design engineers the opportunity to start their ...

Most electrical engineers believe they have a good understanding of power supplies because they are relatively simple, single-function DC devices designed to output controlled voltages. However, there ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

The power supply in your computer manages all of the power required to run each component of your computer. When this critical component begins to fail, your computer may power off unexpectedly, ...

The common type of power supply used with computers and other electronic equipment. The "switching" comes from switching a transistor on and off to create square waves for input to a transformer. For ...

Packing a 1.2-kW output in a 1U-high, 19-in. rack-mounted chassis, the Model VSP2050 low-noise switching dc power supply is ideal for applications from automatic test equipment to R&D labs to ...

Before we go forward and run some of the tests that we are going to see hereinafter, let us check a few of the symptoms to understand if those tests are worth doing. We have mentioned some symptoms ...
