You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

When it comes to testing power supplies, it’s useful to have a dummy load to put the gear through its paces. While it’s possible to just use some old heating elements or other big resistors, an active ...

The ACB technology, coupled with load current monitoring, remote diagnostics and visual indications, ensures maximum reliability in redundant power systems. the technology automatically and ...

Accurate high-side current sensing is essential for automotive-control systems, such as those for EPS (electric power steering), automatic gear shifting, transmission control, engine fuel-injection ...

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 ...
