Previously here on The Filter Wizard we saw how to use a spreadsheet such as Excel to calculate the frequency response of a filter network with a ladder form in Simulate Circuits in a Spreadsheet with some 'Ladderal Thinking'. This form covers a wide range of common filter circuits, from loudspeaker crossover networks through to high performance ...

Schweizer will embed power MOSFETs directly in a PCB instead of mounted on the board exterior. The thermal benefits of this innovation enable higher power density that is ideal for 48V automotive power systems in Mild Hybrid cars (Courtesy of NY Daily News).

So, filter fans, I hope you tried out my recent spreadsheet-modified simulation schematic method Excel Tunes Up your Schematic Files. It's a nice way of creating small circuit chunks with calculated component values, especially when the sums can't be carried out using the math capabilities of your simulator's preprocessor.

As a member of the electronics design community, I am angry and disappointed with the recent deaths of 346 people due to the Boeing MAX 8 design. I always say, "Follow the money" and you will likely find the cause of most problems. Whether it is a rush to get a product to market before your competitors, or an effort to make more money on product options, ...

The theoretical advantages of GaN-based power transistors are now being realized in mainstream system designs. Power supplies for data centers and telecom switching racks are two application areas where GaN transistors show significant improvement in comparison to systems using best-in-class Silicon-based Superjunction devices. When the system is ...

Editor's note: There is a great deal written about isolation, but Frederik Dostal gives us a look at power supply isolation. Do you know which side of the galvanic isolation to put the controller? Should you use optocouplers or some other method? Find out here.
