The circuit in Figure 1 is a high-power analog of the popular TL431 programmable shunt regulator. This two-terminal circuit is convenient when the drain of the P-channel FET is grounded, since it ...

To control system operation, motors require a current measurement, which can be achieved using shunt resistors that provide a simple and cost-effective solution. Motors are used in countless consumer ...

Whether squeezing the last millijoule from your battery or operating a cooler CPU board, the goal is to burn less power. For many loads the power dissipation varies as the square of the applied ...

The world has turned to renewable energy in an attempt to wean itself from depleting carbon-based sources. The increase in the number of solar, wind, wave, and tidal power sources has pushed the need ...

Piezoelectric shunt damping is an innovative method for mitigating unwanted vibrations in structures by exploiting the electromechanical properties of piezoelectric transducers. When bonded to a ...
