System Sensor offers a Web-based Voltage Drop Calculator that allows users to quickly and easily lay out audible/visible notification device circuits using the company’s notification appliances. The ...

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 ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Supercapacitors (SCs) generally operate at low voltages of about 2.7 V. To achieve higher operating voltages, it is necessary to build up a cascade of SC cells connected in series. Due to variations ...

As useful as the rectification properties of diodes are, the forward voltage drop they create can vary widely with temperature. This increases losses and can introduce tolerance errors in power ...
