In 2008, Bob Pease exchanged e-mails with Linear Technology’s Mark Thoren, me, and a few other friends. The subject was how an amplifier will oscillate if you put a capacitive load on it. Bob knew ...

Kepco is offering an option for both the 200-W and 400-Wmodels in its BOP series of bipolar power supplies to enhance their ability todrive capacitive loads. This option, designated by the suffix C, ...

Driving capacitive loads at speed is difficult. The fundamental reason for this is that the current charging due to the voltage change is limited only by the equivalent series resistance (ESR), which ...

Despite all of the attention devoted to low voltage, low operating, and quiescent currents, and low power in general, the reality is that many applications require more power during real “work” as ...

Kepco is pleased to introduce an option for its 200W and 400W BOP models to optimize their ability to drive capacitive loads. This option (designated by the suffix "C") makes the BOP more suitable for ...

Op amps are generally pretty easy to apply, but there are some practical nonideal behaviors you have to keep in mind. [EEforEveryone] takes a test board with some 2X amplifiers on it and — after some ...

. The data can be imported to a PC with an RS-232 or 802.11b wireless connection. The displays work with Windows XP-based software that lets users calibrate the sensors, show individual and total ...

Most load cells on the market use a cantilever outfitted with strain gages to measure loads. Such cells also need a bulky and expensive signal conditioner to make them useful. Engineers at Loadstar ...

Op amps are generally pretty easy to apply, but there are some practical nonideal behaviors you have to keep in mind. [EEforEveryone] takes a test board with some 2X amplifiers on it and — after some ...

The use of air-break disconnect switches to interrupt the capacitive currents associated with open‑ended bus runs and short lines is common practice. In most cases, the current magnitude is no more ...
