Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) or Switching Regulators: Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) - The regulated power supplies described earlier were basically linear voltage regulators. A linear voltage regulator possesses…
What is Dual Power Supply? -Circuit Diagram and its Workings? Many discrete and ICs need bipolar (dual power supply or ± V) supplies. This can be easily accomplished with two…
Controlled Transistor Series Regulator with Short Circuit Protection: Controlled Transistor Series Regulator with Short Circuit Protection - If the load resistance RL is reduced or load terminals are shorted accidentally,…
Regulated and Unregulated Power Supply: Almost all electronic devices used in electronic circuits need a dc source of power to operate. The source of dc power is used to establish…
Construction of Phanotron: The constriction of a gas-filled diode or phanotron is similar to a vacuum diode except that the size of its electrodes is larger so as to conduct…
Circuit Breaker Analyzer: Short Circuit Generator: This is of a special design having very low reactance in order to give the maximum short-circuit output of the Circuit Breaker Analyzer. The…
Improving Regulator Performance: Error Amplifier Gain - The performance of a regulator is dependent on the voltage gain of the error amplifier. A higher gain amplifier gives better line and…
