MOSFETs Target the Major Efficiency Losses in DC/DC Converters

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

The silicon MOSFET has become a key component in the design of DC/DC converters, providing the high-speed switching and current-handling capability needed to implement high-efficiency, pulse-width-modulation-based control strategies. The drive towards higher efficiency is placing more intense demands on MOSFETs, particularly in designs that have constraints on size, reducing the amount of space that can

The most-popular MCUs ever

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

We all might have fond (or maybe not so fond) memories of the first MCU we used, but where does that device and the many others that you may have also used and read about. So we asked MCU manufacturers to tell us which of their MCU lines has been the most popular ever and

Small but powerful LED series KP- 2012

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Don´t let yourself get confused by miniature dimensions – small SMT LEDs produce surprisingly strong light. SMT LEDs enjoy a big popularity because of their size but also thanks to a fast and simple assembly to PCB on automatic machines. In comparison to wire-leaded types, a vast majority of SMT LEDs doesn´t contain optics, thus

The decoupling capacitor…is it really necessary?

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Before working as an applications engineer, I worked as an IC test development engineer here at TI. One of my projects was to characterize an I2C temperature sensor. After writing some software, I threw together a hand-wired prototype board. I was in a hurry, so I left off that pesky decoupling capacitor. Who needs it,
