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 ...

Microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) require low-voltage, high-current power supplies. These supplies usually have very strict requirements on output-voltage deviations ...

Vishay Intertechnology announced a new surface-mount Power Metal Strip® resistor in the 2010 case size that combines a high 2 W power rating with extremely low resistance values down to 0.001 ohms and ...

The design challenges for a high-power electronic load extend beyond the electronics. The best electronic load circuit will not function well without a good connection to the device under test. The ...
