Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...

It has long been known that the simple combination of a depletion-mode MOSFET (and before these were available, a JFET) and a resistor made a simple, serviceable current source such as that seen on ...

For decades, silicon has ruled as the undisputed leader in power electronics. But as silicon hits its performance limits, gallium-nitride (GaN) power devices are gaining ground. With faster switching ...

Two Solarlytics units installed next to a DC combiner. DC-DC converters are one option for tackling the issue of voltage collapse. Image: Solarlytics. As solar plants age and face varying ...
