Dr. Ray Ridley, President, Ridley Engineering

There have been many dramatic changes in power supply development over the last 20 years, but loop gain measurements remain the key to rugged and aggressive system performance. Understanding how to read a loop gain is important. Loop gain measurements in modern systems Quite a few years ago, I emerged from c

Power Supply Failure Survey – Part III

Dr. Ray Ridley, Ridley Engineering

In this third article about power supply failures, the magnetics are examined for their contribution to the failure rate. These are usually the least understood of all components, and poor magnetics design can lead to many different failure mechanisms in power supplies. Power Supply Failure Survey The LinkedIn sit
