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 ...

Providing a rugged interface between standard logic and 3 to 6-V dc inductive loads, the DRDC3105 relay driver is designed to handle relays, solenoids, incandescent lamps and small motors in a wide ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced further additions to its IntelliFET® range of self-protected MOSFETs. The 60V, 75mohms (typical) rated single N-channel ZXMS6006DG/SG and dual N-channel ZXMS6006DT8 ...

In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...

Recent studies indicate the level of knowledge and implementation of motor system energy-efficiency measures is low. A plethora of information on motor system design, best practices, purchasing, and ...

According to the IEEE Standard Dictionary of Electrical and Electronic Terms, power factor (PF) is defined as the ratio of the circuit power (watts) to the circuit volt-amperes. This is described by ...

If you work on RF circuits–even if you aren’t a ham radio operator–you ought to have a dummy load. A dummy load is a non-radiative “antenna” with known impedance that you can use to test your RF ...
