When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

Many power supplies use hold-up capacitors to keep enough energy at the full-wave or bridge rectifier output to supply a load when the rectified voltage drops and rises again at the next half-cycle of ...

Here’s a simplified approach to analyzing a regulated voltage source that can power and maintain communication on a 1-Wire network—if timing meets 1-Wire protocol specifications. When powering a ...
