One of the most frustrating challenges for control engineers and specialists is the potential early failure of interposing or interfacing relays used to drive inductive loads. This is especially true ...

The BOP series 200- and 400-W bipolar operational power supplies are optimized for driving inductive loads. They are designed to operate in a stable manner in Current or Current-Limit modes with loads ...

Diodes Inc.’s ULN2000 series of Darlington arrays integrate seven open-collector Darlington transistors, each capable of producing a 500-mA output current from 50-V outputs. Diodes Inc.’s ULN2000 ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...
