Resistor-based current sensing is simple, easy to use, low cost, extremely linear and requires no calibration. The statement that voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current ...

Sensing and controlling supply current flow are a fundamental requirement in most all electronic systems from battery-operated, portable equipment to mobile or fixed-platform power management and dc ...

A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...

Touchstone Semiconductor, a developer of high-performance analog integrated circuit solutions, today announced the immediate availability of two new drop-in replacements for its Maxim alternate-source ...

An ultra low power voltage comparator that is said to consume one third of current for the same response time compared to competing devices has been announced by STMicroelectronics. The new TS33 ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. This circuit provides latching and high-speed ...
