As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

You need to know how to measure the current that flows through a component in a circuit and the voltage across it. The ammeter must be connected in series with the component – remember, in a series ...

Voltage is a measure of the difference in energy between one part of a circuit and another. It tells you how much electrical energy has been converted into other forms of energy. Voltage is measured ...

Don’t get zapped when buying a new high-voltage DC power supply. Understand the specifications first. Lasers, linear accelera-tors, X-ray machines, defibrillators, radar, and numerous other ...

I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

Battery cell open circuit voltage (OCV) is an important measurement made on the cell during manufacturing to determine cell performance quickly and reliably. Download our application note to learn why ...
