I'm frequently asked why I refer to the effective inductance of a voltage reference, voltage regulator, or op-amp in my articles. Others question “Is there really an inductor in there?”, “Where does ...

Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

To maintain performance, high voltage systems rely on precise control, monitoring and protective features. Safeguards such as overvoltage and overcurrent protection, insulation monitoring and fast ...

Designed to protect low-voltage systems up to 28 V, the MAX4959 and MAX4960 over-voltage protection (OVP) controllers include battery-switchover capability. The devices provide resistor-programmable ...

The first major performance item to review is large-signal load-transient response performance. Here, a large-signal phrase is used in contrast to a small-signal. A small-signal transient literally ...
