Most dc-dc converters require a soft-start circuit to limit the in-rush current at startup. Although a smooth soft start is required for systems with power-on reset (POR), this is difficult to ...

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has announced significant advancements in its portfolio of industrial control and protection ...

The two power supply circuits are presented to illustrate the soft start procedure using LM317 and L200 integrated circuits where each reaches the desired output of 15 V gradually for a period of 5 ...

Obviously, long battery life is a significant design goal for portable devices. Much effort is put into maximizing the efficiencies of the DC-DC converters in these products since that clearly extends ...

This article addresses a characteristic found in many battery-powered products. When power to a circuit is first applied, high peak currents are encountered during the time taken to establish stable ...
