Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

ST’s four-channel high-side switches, the IPS4140HQ and IPS4140HQ-1, drive resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads with one side connected to ground. The IPS4140HQ handles up to 0.6 A per channel, ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

The driver supports SPI control and emergency parallel inputs for limp-home mode, even without digital supply, suiting it for space-constrained automotive applications. An input mapping function makes ...

Some operational amplifiers (op amps) have an inductive open-loop output impedance, which can be more complex to stabilize than op amps with resistive output impedances. One of the most common ...

Many loads are mainly resistive; thus, they’re rated in watts (i.e., true power). Simply stated, these loads have a very small reactive component, which means an apparent power rating (VA) would not ...

There are many discussions regarding PUE (power usage effectiveness) nowadays. While more and more people want to at least have an idea of what PUE they are running at, there are quite a few who think ...
