Selecting a No-Opto Flyback DC/DC Converter for Space-Constrained Designs

On August 29, 2019 in All, Power by Robert Huntley

Traditionally, isolated DC/DC flyback converters used an optocoupler or a third transformer winding for line regulation. This led to design complexity, increased cost, and the need for more PCB space. Simplify your design with a no-opto flyback converter IC to regain PCB space and lower your BOM cost.

Exactly What the Doctor Ordered: Cars that Monitor Their Health and Yours

On February 6, 2017 in Dev Tools, Sensors by Paul Golata

One of the trends in cars is AI, enabling autonomous driving, such that vehicles can stop in emergency situations before colliding and also to arrive at their destinations with less risk and peril for all. To enable this reality, each system must be equipped with control, monitoring and sensing.
