Current Sense Basics and ICE Approach
Almost every modern power circuit incorporates a current measurement mechanism / current sensor. Such a mechanism allows continuous monitoring of the system’s integrity and prevention of overheating (Thermal Runaway). This is achieved by tracking, at various levels of accuracy, the actual current intensity passing through the system’s conductors, and especially the system’s input lines (Bus […]
Buck Converter / Boost Converter Output Inductor
It is impossible to imagine an electronic or electrical product today without an internal or external implementation of power conversion and processing solutions. These include sophisticated solutions and various diverse power supply topologies. The two most common and simplest topologies in power supply voltage conversion are the BUCK CONVERTER and the BOOST CONVERTER, which are […]
FLYBACK DC2DC Topology – Flyback Transformer
Most electrical products sold today require sophisticated power conversion and processing solutions, along with various diverse power supply topologies. One of the most common topologies for power supply voltage conversion is the FLYBACK. The FLYBACK topology allows the conversion of an input voltage into multiple (lower) output voltages, at a medium power of several tens […]
Solving EMC Noise Using a POWER LINE – CHOKE
Proper design of a Power Line Choke and Ferrite helps us reduce emitted radiation to permissible levels. Most electrical products sold today, both for domestic and industrial use, are required to meet strict Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) conditions. As part of the testing and certification process, the designer is required to demonstrate low levels of radiation […]
