The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

[Kerry Wong] had some extreme MOSFETs (IXTK90N25L2) and decided to create a high current electronic load. The result was a two-channel beast that can handle 50 A per channel. Together, they can sink ...

So there I was, a new hire for a leading-edge analog-electronics company. As it was my first job, I was wide-eyed and excited—confronting new problems left and right. One problem I ran into involved ...

When measuring current with a shunt resistor, what side of the load do you put it on? If you're amplfying the voltage drop across the sense resistor and digitizing that voltage, it makes a difference.
