Switching power supplies, operating directly from input power lines, are generally required to have their outputs galvanically isolated from the input, in order to reduce the danger of electrical ...
A difficult challenge in power-supply design is tailoring the response of the control loop. With the loads dynamically changing at a much higher frequency, the control loop has to keep up. To handle ...
Figure 1a shows a latching circuit based on an optocoupler, IC 1. If the off switch remains closed, pressing the on switch powers the LED in the optocoupler. Thus, the transistor in IC 1 turns on. You ...
Designers of switch-mode power supplies generally put a lot of care into selecting the placement of poles/zeros of the supply transfer function to ensure stable operation. However, many such designs ...
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 ...
MALVERN, Pa., Feb. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of phototransistor optocouplers that combine a high and linear current transfer ...
