Application flexibility and cost concerns are creating a demand for intelligent power-supply designs that support soft configuration in production and external control. These advanced power supplies ...

With so many inexpensive, dedicated analog PWM controllers available, why should a designer opt for digital feedback control using a DSC? One advantage to using a DSC is that operating modes (voltage ...

In any discussion of digital power, a distinction must be made between two key concepts: power control and power management. Ericsson uses the term power control to address the control functions that ...

Mixed-signal designs combine the most powerful features and advantages of both analog and digital circuitry. One common mixed-signal architecture is a chain of analog signal blocks, each controlled by ...

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...
