As a fundamental concept of electronic design, voltage drop ranks highly as one to understand well. I particularly appreciate when industry folks come up with creative ways to get the point across.

Series voltage drop is the progressive loss of voltage that occurs when feeding a string of parallel-connected loads. It's of particular concern when feeding a string of roadway, walkway, or parking ...

Inevitably, industrial facilities are going to have 460VAC, 3-phase motor loads. And, of course, since voltage drop is considered mainly a performance issue, maximum voltage drop rules on a circuit ...

As VLSI technology scales to 90 nanometers and beyond, ASIC vendors increasingly see power grid integrity issues in their designs and in the field, for two primary reasons. First, deep-submicron ...

Voltage drop at advanced nodes is a deadly serious problem that has become unmanageable with the methodologies used by most chip designers today. This article will cover the reasons why power ...

Semiconductor junctions — from the millions of transistors used in ICs to the large-area compound junctions that make high-brightness LEDs possible — can all suffer early failure due to increased heat ...

This circuit is a Mosfet-based linear voltage regulator with a voltage drop of as low as 60mV at 1A. The circuit uses a 15V-0-15V transformer and employs an IRF540 N-channel Mosfet (Q1) to deliver the ...
