R&D engineers have traditionally found it a challenge to measure dc inrush current and current during dc voltage transients because these measurements require complex setups with multiple pieces of ...

Many applications today, including industrial machinery, power tools and other high current equipment, use limiting inrush current as a major design consideration to combat the problematic effects of ...

A quasi-dynamic thermal model accurately predicts inrush-induced heating in MOSFETs, while also accommodating different circuit topologies. David Divins, Senior Field Applications Engineer, ...

The use of power-factor correction (PFC) is becoming more common in the design of power converters. Their use is now being mandated by some countries and will continue to expand as line power-carrying ...
