The reliability argument in favour of modules over discrete power circuits is usually illustrated in terms of component numbers: put simply, this argument states that a system’s Failure In Time (FIT) ...

In low power laser diode modules the designer has the option to use the classical discrete solution or take advantage of fully integrated driver ICs. Often the component cost is the only driving ...

In the old days every instrument or system had a power supply board with discrete, homemade regulators on it to power the system. Then IC’s like the LM7805 series of voltage regulators changed ...

How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

Figure 5 demonstrates a short-circuit event where a brief short circuit at the end of a 10-foot cable causes its voltage to ring and peak to 50.4 V, doubling its 24-V dc normal voltage. The voltage ...
