As current-mode conversion increases in popularity, several peculiarities associated with fixed-frequency, peak-current detecting schemes have surfaced These include instability above 50% duty cycle, a tendency towards subharmonic oscillation, n...View More
Current mode control as usually implemented in switching power supplies actually senses and controls peak inductor current. This gives rise to many serious problems, including poor noise immunity, a need for slope compensation, and peak-to-av...View More
Power-line communication ( PLC ) carries data on a conductor that is also used simultaneously for AC electric power transmission or electric power distribution to consumers. It is also known as power-line carrier ,&n...View More
Featured article from eeDesignIt With silicon-only semiconductors’ potential now exhausted, researchers have been looking for something else to increase carrier mobility. A silicon-graphene device that can transmit radiofrequency waves in ...View More
The three basic switching power supply topologies in common use are the buck, boost, and buck-boost. These topologies are non-isolated, i.e., the input and output voltages share a common ground. There are however, isolated derivations of these ...View More
As Electric Vehicles (EVs) become a more prevalent mode of transportation, discussions about different electric charging options are increasing. Wireless charging is one option that received a great deal of interest in the past few yea...View More
What a current source is Fig. 1: How does a constant current source behave? We begin our story with general questions: "What is a constant current source ? What do we want it to do? How does...View More
