This Design Idea drives the ±20mA current loops that are often used to control two-way proportional pneumatic or hydraulic servo valves in high power robotics applications. Most current drivers are ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) is expanding its Micronas magnetic sensor portfolio with the CUR 423x sensors developed for current measurements in automotive and ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

“Ground bounce” is the amount that a ground return rises or falls relative to the system's 0V reference, and, in a dc/dc-switching converter, ground bounce can be many volts, often because of changing ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

Instrument loop problems are frustrating at the best of times and can be really time consuming affairs to deal with. Most of the time these problems are related to isolation and ground faults.
