Modern operational amplifiers (op amps) and instrumentation amplifiers (in amps) provide great benefits to the designer, when compared with discrete semiconductors. But all too often, some very basic ...

In an effort to meet worldwide efficiency requirements, engineersare designing offline power supplies integrating high-efficiencyswitching-regulator-control circuits. This approachuses less copper and ...

With their low equivalent series resistance (ESR), which allows for good ripple-current handling as well as high surge-voltage ratings and self-healing properties, film capacitors are strong ...
