Up to now, this series has primarily discussed the DC specifications of an ADC. Now, we will talk about AC specifications like distortion and noise in the ADC. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is, as ...

Many continuous-conduction-mode PFC controllers use a nonisolated boost topology with average current-mode control. Examples of such controllers are the UC1852, UC1854/UC1854A/UC1854B family and the ...

The power quality of electrical distribution systems has a drastic effect on power regulation and consumption. Power quality includes all aspects of events in the power system that deviate from normal ...

This article is part of a multi-part series on how to identify, monitor, diagnose, and deal with harmonics in electrical power systems. Last month’s article discussed how to determine if current ...

Confused by analog-to-digital converter specifications? Here's a primer to help you decipher them and make the right decisions for your project. Although manufacturers use common terms to describe ...
