Several circuits will be presented that use the CS3001/02/11/12 operational amplifiers with CS5510/11/12/13 ADCs. The combination yields very high performance at relatively low power. Several circuits ...

American Petroleum Institute's pressure vessel and tank committee recently concluded a 5-year effort to revise Standard 650 that provides design rules for reasonable margins against failure of ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...

The EC-E electronic circuit breakers protect load circuits connected to a 24-Vdc power supply. Active electronic current limiting for shortcircuit conditions and overload shutdown are combined to ...

With the ever-increasing complexity of today’s printed circuit boards, the many voltages required to properly power all the integrated circuit loads are now managed by a range of point of load (POL) ...

As your career advances, it’s crucial that you understand how to properly perform basic branch-circuit calculations and select appropriately sized branch-circuit conductors. You must also know how to ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Low-power applications such as e-meters (electricity or energy meters) often require a simple ac line-powered supply ...

When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 VDC supply and keeping load circuits that aren’t impacted by the failure ...
