Cost-sensitive appliances are the driving force for the use of smart power modules (SPM) without heat sinking. However, the increased thermal resistance from junction to ambient limits the maximum ...
Comparators are subject to input offset errors that can be either systematic or layout related. Two applications of comparators in a PWM controller are detecting when there is no current in the ...
The NCP1603 from ON Semiconductor (Phoenix, Ariz.) combines a power-factor correction (PFC) control chip and a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control chip in a single 16-pin SOIC package. This ...
A medical system employs a 1-kW, four-phase, interleaved single-stage PFC circuit that provides a regulated 150-V dc from a single-phase 115-V ac, 60-Hz power source. This regulator serves as the ...
