The road ahead looks like a black hole. It's so dark and so dreary, even the bravest Saturday mechanic would prefer to be off the highway and safe at home. Unfortunately, you're still hours away from ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...

Edgar, it turns out that most muscle car-era GM factory tachs (including the one in your Chevelle) actually run on full 12-volt power. These GM tachs are a three-wire design: The main power-up wire ...

The LTC4353 from Linear Technology is a 0 V to 18 V dual ideal diode controller that replaces two high power Schottky diodes, enabling low loss ORing of multiple power sources with minimal disturbance ...

When power supplies such as step-down regulators or linear regulators are used, they regulate a set voltage to supply a load with electrical energy. In some applications—for example, laboratory power ...
