The SRK1004 synchronous-rectifier controller from STMicroelectronics is designed to improve efficiency and reduce component count on the secondary side of active-clamp resonant and quasi-resonant ...

While August is traditionally seen as a vacation month, the electronics industry was far from dormant as some interesting new products rolled out in recent weeks. In case you missed them, Design News ...

Impulse relay is a viable alternative for lighting control from multiple locations. In modernistic houses and apartments, lighting schemes to control lights from two or more locations are becoming ...

A common part used to create a high voltage is a CRT flyback transformer, having been a ubiquitous junk pile component. So many attempts to use them rely on brute force, with power transistors in ...

It is common for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, industrial sensors, meters, precision, and medical equipment to require both a positive and negative voltage. Often, these voltages must be ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

I repurposed an old computer as a Linux FTP server to automatically back up all sorts of online projects. Because backups happen once a week during the night, it makes no sense to let the computer run ...
