Current sources are widely used in industrial control systems to transport analog process signals over long distances, but they are less widely used than voltage sources. This post loosely reviews the ...

In the world of power electronics, most instrumentation-grade devices contain a source function and a measurement function. A high-performance power supply is a one-box solution that includes the ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Having hacked away with high voltage for many years I’ve ended up using a large number of very different high voltage sources. I say sources and not power supplies because I’ve even powered a corona ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...

In electronics, a Norton amplifier—also known as a current differencing amplifier (CDA)—is a specialized analog circuit that ...
