Testing high power, high brightness light-emitting diode (HBLED) modules is increasingly challenging. One crucial characterization function is the ability to detect which modules are affected by the ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

Have you ever wondered how some piece of digital technology developed? Or, what led up to some power electronics we take for granted today? Or, why we call something by a name that doesn’t seem to ...

A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An illustration ...

TDK Corporation presents the new EPCOS TSM-LC-N690 thyristor module for power factor correction (PFC) with an expanded operating voltage range up to 690 V AC. May 12, 2015 TDK Corporation presents the ...

Last month, we took a look at the origins of the word thyristor. So now we know where the word came from, but how did the actual device come about? This device changed our industry. It improved HVDC ...
