At some point, the 3.6 V of a single lithium ion battery just won’t do, and you’ll absolutely want to stack LiIon cells in series. When you need high power, you’ve either got to increase voltage or ...

Maxim Integrated Application Note 4003 explains the fundamentals of the Series Voltage Reference: A series reference has three terminals: VIN, VOUT, and GND. Though similar in concept to a linear ...

The MAX6072 is a high-precision, dual-voltage reference that allows the ADC and the input common mode to track each other. It provides independent Kelvin connections that allows for the cancellation ...

Voltage drop at advanced nodes is a deadly serious problem that has become unmanageable with the methodologies used by most chip designers today. This article will cover the reasons why power ...

Electrical equipment that operates below its voltage rating can overheat or power down. Here's how to determine your load's operating voltage. Voltage drop across switchgear and feeder and branch ...

At one time a relatively infrequent occurrence, voltage drop is now a major impediment to reliability at advanced nodes. Decades ago, voltage drop was only an issue for very large and high-speed ...

Despite the widespread availability and use of low-power components, today’s printed circuit boards (PCBs) can require a significant amount of current, with boards drawing 50, 100, and even 200 A in ...

The application of Aerial Spacer Cable Systems (ASCS) in heavily treed areas is very common amongst electric utilities. There are a number of other applications including multiple-circuits, long-spans ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...
