There are two separate circuits when it comes to motors and motor control. The main power circuit is what supplies the power ...

Courtesy of www.MikeHolt.com. Based on the 2020 NEC. Article 725 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) covers remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits that are not integral to a device or ...

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...

A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...

Faced with ever-increasing cost pressures and demands for improved performance, machine builders are actively seeking new automation solutions with improved cost/performance ratios. In response to ...

Per 2014 NEC Article 100, short circuit current rating (SCCR) is defined as: “The prospective symmetrical fault current at a nominal voltage to which an apparatus or system is able to be connected ...

This white paper reinforces the notion that digital power supplies are here to stay and there has not been a better time to make the switch to digital. The AC-DC Reference Design from Microchip is a ...

One simulates up to 50× faster than the other, and both will give you comparable accuracy. Which engine would you choose for your power supply circuit? Sounds like a trick question, but it isn’t.
