PWM or Pulse Width Modulation has generally been regarded as too complicated for PC fan speed control compared against using rheostats or linear voltage regulators such as the LM317. I present here a ...

This handy circuit can be used as a speed controller for a 12V motor rated up to 5A (continuous) or as a dimmer for a 12V halogen or standard incandescent lamp rated up to 50W. It varies the power to ...

A few weeks ago, I saw a reader’s question about how to run PS3 cooling fans using an external electronics circuit. At the time I was busy with some other projects. The other day, I decided to put my ...

A synchronous buck PWM controller enables hassle-free power converter design with a minimum number of external components, particularly for a wide input-to-output voltage range. 1. Typical ISL8117 ...

Since the early 1990s, the power requirements for VCC core voltages for leading-edge processors and ASICs have become increasingly demanding, with chip voltage decreasing and current increasing. Early ...
