Two of the top considerations in data center and server power-supply unit (PSU) designs are power density and efficiency. Meeting the strictest efficiency standard—80 Plus Titanium—is now a minimum ...

A single-supply, 2.7- ~ 5.5-V, SOT25/SOT26 device from Diodes Inc. features an input common-mode range of up to 26 V. Devices are available to sense unidirectional and bidirectional current. The ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

Current sources are widely used in industrial control systems to transport analog process signals over long distances, but they are less widely used than voltage sources. This post loosely reviews the ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

According to the IEEE Buff Book, "A power cable must be protected from overheating due to excessive short-circuit current flowing in its conductor," which may damage or destroy the insulation. It also ...
