To maximize system efficiency, buck regulators minimize power loss in the switching MOSFETs, inductor, capacitors, controller, and printed circuit board traces. Fairchild’s TinyBuck® family of ...
This document presents the unclamped inductive switching of rugged MOSFETs for rugged environments. It reviews the history of unclamped inductive switching (UIS), and describes the different theories ...
Download this article in PDF format. Switching losses are inevitable in any power device. But these losses can be minimized through optimization and rigorous measurement of design parameters related ...
Over on YouTube [DENKI OTAKU] runs us through how a 4-pin MOSFET works and what the extra Kelvin source pin does. A typical MOSFET might come in a 3-pin TO-247 package, but there are 4-pin variants ...
“Good, fast, cheap: choose two.” That engineering maxim is almost as prevalent as “if you can’t fix it, feature it.” That’s why I’m quite happy to have an idea that might achieve all three of those ...
