The circuit in Figure 1 measures both the true-rms value and the rectified average value of an ac signal. This design uses two low-cost ICs in SOIC packages and consumes only 180 µA of quiescent ...
It is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200°C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it ...
This is the first of a two-part series on the processes used to find the short circuit current duties of circuit breakers and fuses. In Part 1, we’ll use a simplified power system to illustrate the ...
