This blog is dedicated to electronic projects and software due to the author’s enthusiasm for these activities. The main aim is to share to other enthusiasts the experience in electronic design of the author who disclaims all responsibility. All presented projects are realized and fully tested by the author who intends to preserve the intellectual […]
Inrush current or input surge current refers to the maximum, instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device during its initial turn on. Power converters also feature high inrush currents relative to their steady state currents that may be several times their normal full-load current when first energized. The inrush current of a power converter
Operational amplifiers (OPAMPs) are high performance differential amplifiers in integrated form that can be used in many different ways. A typical OPAMP has a non-inverting input, an inverting input, two dc power pins, one output pin and a few other fine-tuning pins. On the following image you can see a typical diagram of an operational
Such is the popularity of DC-to-DC voltage converters (“switching regulators”)––due to their high efficiency across wide input- and output-voltage ranges––that chip makers have focused a lot of research dollars on squeezing the essential components of the devices into modules. These modules typically include pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controllers and switching elements in a single, compact package, easing
