Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

This white paper discusses a method for driving high-frequency sinusoidal ripple over capacitive loads for power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) testing, an important performance parameter for many ...

Input current for a passive PFC circuit is insensitive to changes in the output ripple - so it requires a smaller inductance than previous circuits. Mangesh Borage, Sunil Tiwari, and S. Kotaiah, ...

While most readers are knowledgeable about voltage doublers, here is a discussion about how to use them in unusual ways to enhance power supply circuits that might be otherwise limited in features.

Ripple cancellers, also known as ripple-eaters, gyrators, or electronic filters, are useful when a supply needs to be clean but the absolute supply voltage is unimportant. A typical application of ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
