If your introduction to digital electronics came more years ago than you’d care to mention, the chances are you did so with 5V TTL logic. Above 2V but usually pretty close to 5V is a logic 1, below ...

Ask control systems engineers what the term “high voltage” means to them, and you’re liable to get an answer such as “anything over 50V”. Ask a utility lineman the same question, and you may hear ...

Up to now, this battery level indicator design was limited to 12 & 24V applications. In past circuits, the use of fixed resistors greatly simplifies setup. However, fixed resistors resulted in ...

In this article we introduce a new class of DC-to-DC converters, an example of which is the LTC3336. It only consumes about 65nA of current in standby mode, making it ideal for battery-operated ...

The proliferation of end-use electrical and electronic loads in customer facilities — residential, commercial, and industrial — is not slowing down. Despite economic pressures, utility customers are ...

What are HVICs? High-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) translate low-voltage control signals to levels that are suitable for driving power switches in high-voltage applications. HVICs also can ...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) techniques — along with associated techniques such as dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and adaptive voltage and frequency scaling (AVFS) — are very effective ...

Voltage level shifters are pivotal components in modern CMOS integrated circuits, facilitating robust interfacing between domains operating at disparate voltage levels. Recent advancements in this ...
