FAQ: Piezoelectric motors, Part 1: actuators

September 22, 2018 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

Unlike better-known electromagnetic motors, the widely used piezoelectric-based motor/actuator provides precise, repeatable linear motion over short distances, and requires a voltage drive rather than a current drive. When we think “motor”, we usually think of rotating motion or perhaps a special “linear motor” which is a rotary motor which has been rolled out flat. To […]

Solar cells and power, Part 2 – power extraction

December 28, 2017 By Bill Schweber 3 Comments

Part 1 looked at the solar cells themselves; Part 2 looks at how a cell or panel is managed for maximum performance. Q: How can the useful output of a solar cell or panel be maximized? A: While an active, in-use load or a power-generating facility could be connected directly to the output of a […]

Solar cells and power, Part 1 – basic operation

December 21, 2017 By Bill Schweber 1 Comment

Both small- and large-scale solar power on is an effective way of generating electrical power from an impinging light source, usually the sun. Colloquially, the term may also encompass a local light source such as overhead illumination; thus this, a more-accurate broad term is photovoltaic (PV) power. Although the physics of the solar cell is […]

What’s all this stuff about capacitive power supplies for LEDs?

June 14, 2017 By Lee Teschler 6 Comments

capacitive LED supply

A while back a viewer of our 60-W LED bulb teardowns posted a comment about the complexity of the power supplies found in the bases of these bulbs. We talked about some of the reasons these bulbs contain switching supplies in a previous article. But our latest post elicited this comment from another reader: Well, […]

Controller handles dual dc/dc switching circuits simultaneously

April 3, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

A new Digitally Enhanced Power Analog (DEPA) product for DC-DC power conversion is now available from Microchip Technology Inc. The single-chip solution controls DC-DC converters and is capable of accepting a high voltage input (up to 42V) while simultaneously regulating a wide output voltage range (300 mV to several hundred volts, depending on topology). The […]

The tough problems in power design

February 23, 2017 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

Leland Teschler, Executive Editor lteschler@wtwhmedia.com On Twitter @DW_LeeTeschler An annual ritual takes place in the upper echelons of the power electronics world. At the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), considered a premier forum for applied power electronics, researchers present new ideas for power converters. Typically, these ideas are neither straightforward nor easy to understand. And […]

CURRENT DIGITAL ISSUE

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
