It is much lower cost and causes far fewer problems to use a single power converter correctly rated for the application rather than two or more in parallel. However, there are power converters which feature master slave parallel operation. These units are intended for modular expansion schemes and fault tolerant parallel...
Designing a user friendly control panel can be a daunting task. As technology continues to advance, designers continue to include more and more options in their production lines.
As the functionality of these new products increase, engineers are forced to find new innovative ways to interface with the operator. To...

We’re seeing connectivity reaching everywhere and reaching further, with Internet traffic volume exploding and data-storage needs growing at hard-to-comprehend rates.
The amount of physical infrastructure, connectivity and electrical power required to support this growth is astounding. This infrastructure —...
Medical electronics equipment is not longer just found in hospitals, clinics and doctors surgeries. Neither is its use restricted to qualified practitioners. Instead designs have become smaller, more portable and easier to use.
This article will explore two of these applications for portable medical electronics, looking...
As modern factory automation (including servo motors, industrial robots, and computer numerical control [CNC] machines) trends toward higher precision, power, speed, multi-axis, and multi-direction, the requirement for accurate sensing of motor phase current has become ever more demanding. Traditionally, current sensing...
