Energy-storage devices such as batteries continue to change how people live. Here's an article that will point you toward the design of your own linear Li-ion battery charger using today's ...

Yesterday, at a series of events held on three continents, scientists celebrated the completion of the design for a next-generation particle collider, the International Linear Collider. At these ...

This story first appeared in SLAC Today on September 8, 2009. Two of the three detector design concepts for the proposed next linear collider have been validated by the International Detector Advisory ...

Observations on nodal and loop analysis that can save a fair amount of scribbling of equations when using Kirchhoff's laws. In a previous Idea for Design, Anshi Chen outlined a method for analyzing ...

The easiest way to design a linear-motion system is to add components one by one. Then, step-by-step calculations relate input to power dissipated moving a load in a specific amount of time. Linear ...

A while back, I published the Design Idea (DI) “Simple PWM interface can program regulators for Vout < Vsense.” It showed some simple circuits for PWM programming of standard bucking-type regulator ...

Editor's note: Designers at all levels of power management design will find this application article both educational for those not very familiar with these basic concepts as well as an excellent ...

“Abstract: Silicon carbide metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were designed and fabricated for linear-mode applications. The MOSFETs have a chip area of 3.3 ? 3.3 mm and a ...
