Because wireless systems are typically located out of doors and have components located on towers and tall buildings, they are especially susceptible to damage from lightning.
Therefore, it is important that a lightning protection system be designed and implemented at the same time the wireless system is being designed...

Two methods can be used to re-design loop-gain digitally for the power supply converters: digital redesign method and direct digital design method. In the digital redesign method, the controller is designed in the continuous-time domain, and then discretized into the discrete-time form.
In the direct digital design...

Low-power electrical transients generated within a facility are the primary cause of failure to AC/DC power supplies. These transients reduce the life of power supplies and create unplanned downtime.
This document will explain why these transients cause failure and outline how placing high-power transient voltage...

This article examines how to synchronize multiple DC/DC buck regulators in a Master/Slave configuration using phase shift time delay. Phase shifting multiple converters prevents ON time overlapping and reduces RMS current, ripple and input capacitor requirements, which will improve system EMI and power efficiency. This...

Feed-forward headsets typically are more easily developed because the design engineer usually does not have to deal with stability issues. A major drawback of this topology, however, is wind noise, since the ANC microphones are directly exposed to the ambient. An alternative that overcomes this drawback is the use of a...

Flash memory is commonly used to store firmware in embedded systems. Occasionally, the firmware stored in the Flash memory in some systems is accidentally corrupted, preventing the system from booting up after power-on. Flash corruption is commonly associated with a software bug. However, it is also commonly understood...

In many switching power converters, rectifier diodes are used to obtain the DC output voltage. The conduction loss of a diode rectifier contributes significantly to the overall power loss, especially for low-voltage, high-current converter applications. The conduction loss of a rectifying diode is given by the product...
