As systems extend and expand the exploitation of the latest power semiconductors (IGBTs, MCTs, etc.) that manifest the very relentless advance in power output limits, a prerequisite (and parallel) ...

There is a need in many applications to sense currents on the high-side rail of a power bus and translate it into a voltage with respect to ground, which is proportional to this current. Typically, ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used to make decisions about turning off ...

Efficiency in power-related systems is typically defined in terms of the useful power output divided by the total power consumed, as in "the efficiency of such-and-such switching power supply is 97%." ...

This invention maps changes in magnetic field strength to changes in actuator shape without seeing noise from the actuator or reducing performance. The field of soft robotics has been rapidly gaining ...

The MC73110 motor-control IC features an onchip a/d converter that digitizes analog current feedback, and provides multiple current sensing methods to maximize motor performance. Features of the unit ...
