Case study: hardware-in-the-loop test systems for the BMW Hydrogen 7 download
Instruments and hardware from National Instruments have been used in the development of a complete HIL testing environment for engines used in the BMW Hydrogen 7.
Application note: parasitic capacitance effects in step-up transformer design download
Transformers have parasitic components that can cause them to deviate from their ideal characteristics, and the parasitic capacitance associated with the secondary can cause large resonating current spikes on the leading edge of the switch current waveform. These spikes can cause the regulator to exhibit erratic operating conditions that manifests itself as duty-cycle instability. Attention to transformer design will cure this problem.

Linear Technology releases synchronous buck converter suitable for always-on applications downloadweblink
Linear Technology has released the LTC3639, a 150V input-capable synchronous buck converter that delivers up to 100mA of continuous output current. The device’s internal high side and synchronous power switches, drawing only 12µA at no load while maintaining output voltage regulation, make it suitable for always-on battery-powered applications.
Data sheet: LTC3639 synchronous buck converter from Linear Technology download
The LTC3639 from Linear Technology is a 150V input-capable synchronous buck converter that delivers up to 100mA of continuous output current.
Application note: fast charge circuits for nickel cadmium batteries downloadweblink
According to Linear Technology, the safe, fast charging of nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries is required for many applications. A short charge time requires high current. A potential difficulty with high-current charging is battery heating. Excessive internal heating degrades the battery and can cause gas venting to the outside atmosphere. Fast charge schemes based on monitoring cell voltage during charge suffer because cell voltage is not necessarily indicative of the battery’s charge ...
White paper: analysis of solid tantalum capacitor leakage current downloadweblink
The leakage current of a solid tantalum capacitor is the sum of several independent factors. From measurements of leakage over a range of test conditions, some degree of separation of these components of the current can be achieved and so the relative importance of factors leading to high leakage can be assessed. There is a background level present directly related to dielectric absorption and it contributes to the loss factor of the capacitor. It is not a true leakage. On top of this ...
