Power Integrations has upped the output power if its LinkSwitch-TN2 ac-dc converter family with a device that can output 575mA – previously the top end was 360mA. “These new LinkSwitch-TN2 ICs are pin ...

Fuses protect against overcurrent events by melting their elements and opening the circuit. Fuses must be applied at or below their specified voltage rating, which differs between ac and dc current.

As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or ...

The demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient AC/DC USB power delivery (PD) chargers is always a challenge for power-supply design engineers. Below 100 W, the quasi-resonant flyback is still the ...

), two primary methods are commonly used: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) charging. Both serve the same purpose—recharging the EV’s battery—but they operate in fundamentally different ...
