Using LED lighting, NASA has figured out how to make space food more palatable.

This is how the University of Minnesota and DigiKey collaborated to quickly bring to market a usable mass-market ventilator for COVID-19 patients.

TDK-Lambda’s PFH500 power modules meet industrial design criteria for harsh environments.

Understand and apply IO-Link to efficiently and cost effectively deploy and communicate with intelligent sensors and actuators in an IIoT application.

Adding sensors to drones requires a careful balance of power consumption, functionality, and cost, but here are some suitable options.

MPPT, remote sensor monitoring, and a GaN transistor in a power supply PoL are among the options designers can use to back up an AI-based power system, just in case.

Almost three decades ago, the "brick" DC/DC converter power module was developed, which eventually led to the distributed power architecture (DPA) becoming the de facto standard for point of load (POL) designs.

Home energy systems based on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, are becoming more popular among consumers and will gain increasing support from governmental bodies.

Flow sensors are used to measure flow velocity, volumetric flow rate, or mass flow of a liquid or gas. Mass flow for gases is specified in units of standard liters per minute (slm) or standard cubic centimeters per minute (sccm).

What once was a straightforward act of transforming an AC waveform into a DC source to power downstream devices is now greatly affected and driven by the power grid to maximize its available power.

Powerline filters protect expensive circuitry from potentially damaging power surges, as well as protecting the AC line from excessive noise conducted back into it from a noisy power converter.

Modular, high-density POL (point-of-load) power DC/DC converters have some excellent advantages over other power management architectures.

DC/DC converters are a great high-frequency noise source. Designers must take careful steps to minimize and contain this noise near and around the converter to keep it from affecting other system components or the AC mains.

Battery size constraints in energy harvesting systems necessitate creativity and innovation in order to maximize efficiency of the power source.

Ambient light sensor (ALS) products are quickly becoming one of the most effective solutions for power management and display quality enhancement in electronic products and systems.

As newer applications and systems tend to have multiple voltages to power DSPs, µCs, FPGAs, and ASICs, modern power supply designs must be able to control how and when these voltages ramp to their final values after the power switch is activated.

Relative humidity (RH) is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor (in a gaseous mixture of air and water vapor) to the saturated vapor pressure of water at a given temperature.

Designers using modular power converters for their systems know how critical a thermal derating curve is to the success of their design.

Need a temperature sensor for your next application? You'll first need to sort through the three-letter acronyms before arriving at any BOMs.

A gas detection sensor’s function is to measure the concentration of gases. These devices have different methods to convert the gas detection element’s output to voltage.
