Q: The percent impedance of a transformer is also the voltage drop of the transformer at full load. What is the voltage drop of a transformer at various other load levels, i.e. 25%, 50%, 75% or in ...

It’s common practice to series-terminatean op amp to match theimpedance of the load. This practicecauses a 3-dB loss of output power in thetermination resistance, however (Figure1). Newer op amps ...

Dual-band impedance transformers and matching networks are pivotal components in modern high-frequency systems, facilitating efficient power transfer between disparate circuit elements by converting ...

Figure 1 depicts a circuit that detects the opening of a miniature circuit breaker or high-rupture-capability fuse in a high-reliability telecommunications power supply. The circuit generates an alarm ...

In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

As a key component in energy conversion system, power semiconductor devices are widely used in various applications, e.g., electric vehicles, renewable energy conversion, and uninterrupted power ...
