Abstract: The design and implementation of a modified bootstrap switching circuit based on p-channel organic thin-film transistors and integrated thin-film resistors that addresses the lack of ...

There is an issue with the bootstrap resistor R4 failing open if the system is run for around 20min at an input voltage of 150V. The problem is likely caused by the reverse recovery effect of the ...

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...

To conserve energy, there has been a big push to lower the standby power in off-line power supplies. Many countries around the world are adopting green-mode standards. A good example of these ...

In some flyback power supply circuits, we have to implement outputs in the secondary of the transformer that are isolated from the other outputs that share a common ground. Technically no feedback ...

At the risk of dating myself, I’m old enough to remember the days when Best Buy had a formidable rival in superstore chains: Circuit City. A cross between an appliance store (at least until it stopped ...

Texas Instruments (TI), a leader in high-voltage semiconductor solutions, today announced that Chicony Power designed in TI's integrated gallium nitride (GaN) technology to power its latest 65-W ...

Imagine a scenario in which you visit a friend’s home and, to your shock, discover a time machine sitting in her living room. After a few jaunts to check out some dinosaurs, stir up a little trouble ...

Go to a hunting ground for Coyotes, Crocodiles, or Jaguars to find the alphas - they spawn randomly and are a bit rare, and you need to kill them with a bow or throwing knife to ensure you don't ruin ...

Analog bootstrap circuits are traditionally ones where output is fed back to the input, usually to increase input impedance. This can be to minimize either the resistive or reactive (usually ...

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS discrete GaN HEMTs have been taking an increasing share of the power electronics market. Thanks to their fundamental superiorities over their silicon rivals. Merits of these ...
