A PCB coil is an inductor created directly on the layers of a printed circuit board using the copper traces themselves to form the coiled structure. By arranging the copper traces in a spiral or serpentine pattern, it creates a winding that acts as an inductor. The magnetic flux produced by...
The anode is indicated in a circuit diagram (refer to the lead image at the top of the blog) by the arrowhead, whereas the cathode forms the other end. Whenever the anode voltage is more positive than the cathode voltage, the diode is described as having a forward-bias, and it conducts...
SiC (silicon carbide) is a compound semiconductor composed of silicon and carbide. SiC provides a number of advantages over silicon, including 10x the breakdown electric field strength, 3x the band gap, and enabling a wider range of p- and n-type control required for device construction. Chemic...
Q1. At what voltages should you consider using a Big Switch PCB? Generally once the voltages exceed 200V it is recommended to use a custom Big Switch PCB over a standard PCB for better safety and reliability. The exact threshold depends on current levels too – for example, 100V could sti...
These SiC modules will ensure the right drive requirements for the MOSFET are provided as well as looking at the snubber circuitry and EMI filtering that will be needed within the overall electronic circuit design.These SiC modules are ideal for many circuit designs where an effectiv...
Small leakage current MOS FET relay can withstand external surge current without addition of snubber circuit. Under normal condition, leakage current is about 1 nA or below and very small leakage when closed. (Model: G3VM-□GR□, -□LR□, -□PR□, -□UR□) Excellent shock resistance All ...

Snubbers:Dynamic Restraint Sway Braces, etc. In piping stress analysis supports can be classified into two groups Uni-Directional Piping Support and Bi-Directional Pipe Support. Unidirectional pipe support is free to move in one direction like +Y, +X, +Z, etc here the supports are free to ...
The solution here is typically very simple: apply asnubber circuitacross the switching node to ground. The purpose of the snubber circuit is to filter the oscillation but without creating new losses in the switching node. Failure to Track Output Voltage Fluctuations ...
Snubber circuit: reduces the inrush current when the power is turned on. When the VFD is turned on, the voltage across the capacitor does not change abruptly, but the current at both ends does. Both ends of the capacitor are comparable to a short circuit at this point. The rectifier brid...
