For most industrial applications, engineers need a high-side switch to control inductive loads. The challenge is how to discharge the energy in the inductor when the switch opens and current flow ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

The BOP series 200- and 400-W bipolar operational power supplies are optimized for driving inductive loads. They are designed to operate in a stable manner in Current or Current-Limit modes with loads ...

TE Connectivity (TE) has announced the release of the CII FC-335 series relay. Designed to manage harsh inductive, motor and lamp loads, this high-performance relay offers a rugged means of power ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced the DMN61D8LVTQ dual-channel inductive-load driver, designed for automotive inductive load-switching applications, such as window, door latch and antenna relays, ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) has introduced a new transistor array. The DIODES™ ULN62003A consists of seven 500mA-rated open-drain transistors, where all ...

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

Fill in the blank with the appropriate answer. When calculating inductive and LED lighting loads for circuits supplying lighting units that have ballasts, transformers, autotransformers, or LED ...
