Power-supply applications require the use of a duty-cycle clamp. Such applications include those using current-sense transformers and two-switch forward converters. If a duty-cycle clamp is not ...

How to use unfiltered PWM to drive high power loads. How to properly set the PWM duty cycle for high power loads. How to drive an incandescent lamp using PWM. Sometimes it’s necessary to drive a ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

“Two halves make a whole” is a very old and often true maxim. For example, it’s almost always true when said about AC phase angle power control. You rarely want significant alternating half-cycle ...
