In this post I will try to gain some insight into the electronics of a cheap PWM Power MOSFET Module. The module under the spotlight is the pretty common FR120N MOSFET Control Module which is a simple ...

The primary side power supply controllers/regulators from Dialog Semiconductor are offered for powering electronics inside home appliances such as dishwashers ...

This white paper discusses the use of hermetic optocouplers in military and space electronics applications. The use of hermetic optocouplers provide a highly reliable result compared to its plastic ...

In an isolated SMPS, the optocoupler is the bridge between the secondary-side voltage sensing and the primary-side PWM controller. If it’s not biased correctly, the feedback signal becomes distorted, ...

Optocouplers provide high-voltage isolation between a low-voltage device like a microcontroller or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) generator and a high-voltage device like an intelligent or integrated ...

The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...

Hybrid-electric vehicles must operate reliably under harsh conditions that demand special qualities on the part of power-conditioning electronics. Consider the electrical system for a hybrid-electric ...

Figure 1 shows the architecture of a conventional isolated flyback converter. These converters can be found frequently in power classes of up to about 60W. A supply voltage is converted to an output ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), today announced a series of three isolated pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers with integrated 5 kV isolation enabled by ADI’s ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

Optocouplers are devices that transfer electrical signals via light waves. They're appropriate for discrete-motion applications in industrial environments. Through light waves, optocouplers transfer ...
