Automotive Start-Stop … Keep the lights ON! |
You’ve probably noticed when you start your car that some of the optional electronics turn off, such as the radio and some LED lighting circuits. That’s because the high current draw of the starter motor pulls the system voltage far below the normal 12+ volt operating level. Critical circuits are… |

Battery Model From Experimental Data |
Summary
Many have observed that as a rechargeable battery is discharged the voltage that it supplies drops. Conversely, when it it recharged, the output voltage goes back up. Wouldn't it be nice if you could measure this voltage, as a function of the state-of-charge (SOC), and use it to… |

Creating Controlled Sources in the PartQuest Explore Design Analyzer |
Updated 27 Sept. 2018 10:21 PM US-EDT
We used to be asked: “Why doesn’t the PartQuest Explore design environment have a Voltage Controlled Voltage Source (VCVS), or a Current Controlled Current Source (CCCS)?”. These are common behavioral modeling blocks in many circuit simulators, but we didn… |

Efficient Solar Battery Charging System |
Solar energy systems for residential use are typically limited by code to 600V, but commercial installations can operate at higher voltages. This opens the door to more efficient energy utilization. Achieving that efficiency has been made easier with the introduction of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power… |

Electric Power Steering - Coordinated Control, Electronics and Motor Design |
Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems provide a challenging control design problem for system integrators. Because the system directly interacts with the driver’s hands, reducing vibration is a must. But controlling the system’s fundamental mechanical resonance requires loop compensation, such as… |
