LEDs usually take their drive from a constant dc-current source to maintain constant luminescence. Most dc/dc converters, however, deliver a constant voltage by ...

Charging a battery using the constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) method involves using the constant current in the initial state of charging and then switching ...

Many handheld-device designers struggle with the choice of battery chemistry for new product definitions. In some cases, design engineers are transitioning from lower-density nickel-based chemistries ...

An avalanche photodiode (APD) delivers a useful electron-multiplier gain and generally improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical communication systems. An APD is similar to a PIN photodiode with ...

Having a big block of hot to dump current into is a very useful thing to have if you’re testing batteries, power supplies, high power LEDs, electroplating, or any thing else that would normally ...
