I have a Sears deep-cycle lead-acid 12v battery already which I've only used once or twice a year for certain power applications. I was thinking of purchasing an identical model and wiring it in ...

This state-of-the-art synchronous buck-boost converter operates in either buck mode or boost mode, which enables high efficiency over wide input voltage range. The parallel of MOSFETs along with ...

There are still a lot of hand-held tools in use with Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries. The simple charger has no switch-off criteria, and you need to measure and adjust the charge time, else you will badly ...

80V Low IQ Ideal Diode Controllers from Diodes Incorporated Simplify Reverse Battery Polarity and Overvoltage Protection in Modern Automotive Architectures Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today ...

Typically, a power supply is comprised of a power transformer, which is then followed by a conventional bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier is constructed using four diodes that are interconnected ...

This charge-pump circuit, using just a few diodes and capacitors, ups the input voltage by a factor of 1.5 in contrast to the usual voltage-doubling output. Micropower product designs sometimes ...
