As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

Electricity is always used to facilitate a function, whether it's running a fan, illuminating a room, or heating a tank of water. However, it's the work done by the appliance — in these cases an ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

We've all been taught that power factor (PF) is the ratio of real power to apparent power, or the cosine of the phase angle between sinusoidal current and voltage waveforms. When the current isn't ...
