Current. Too little of it, and you can’t get where you’re going, too much and your hardware’s on fire. In many projects, it’s desirable to know just how much current is being drawn, and even more ...

It has long been known that the simple combination of a depletion-mode MOSFET (and before these were available, a JFET) and a resistor made a simple, serviceable current source such as that seen on ...

When an electric current passes through the body, it can cause three main effects: When it comes to current, DC becomes hazardous at around 130 milliamps (mA)—a seemingly small amount, especially ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation demonstrated the largest absolute growth of all renewable technologies in 2022, surpassing wind for the first time in history, according to the International ...

As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

An electric current is a flow of charged particles. A source of energy, such as a cell or battery, is required to make the free electrons move in one direction. Electrons are negatively charged ...

Allegro MicroSystems has integrated power, voltage and current monitoring into a single chip with reinforced isolation. Only a handful of resistors are needed to complete the high-voltage interface ...
