Current sensing devices are often desired in the power supply lines of various circuits, such as battery-powered computers, battery chargers or critical circuits requiring thermal forecasting. Figure ...

Editor’s note: This article presents a good basic tutorial that will discuss several simple and low cost, but effective solutions for isolation of temperature sensors using optical couplers and ...

Current sensing remains a challenge and while most engineers use DCR current sensing it is notoriously inaccurate. So what can be done to improve accuracy? The buck converter is the most common power ...

Residential and commercial circuit breakers face three major challenges: detecting arc faults reliably, reducing false trips ...

We were recently tipped off to quite a resource — on the Texas Instruments website, there’s a page where you can view and download a compendium of analog sub-circuits. Individual circuits can be ...

Designed specifically for high-voltage sensing, a new generation of optically isolated amplifiers make monitoring and system protection circuits more accurate and easier to design. These iso-amps can ...
