From compact 12V drills to beefy 80V outdoor equipment, today’s tradespeople are looking for mobility, performance and operational flexibility. The proliferation of higher-voltage power tools creates challenges for battery manufacturers that quickly spill into the area of motor control. Here, engineers must de
The COVID-19 pandemic saw the global supply chains that had been built up over years and even decades, breaking down. Since then, many countries have attempted to reshape those links to make supply chains even shorter, more reliable and less susceptible to events happening in areas they have no control over, an
Power control is a critical aspect of the electrification trend, expanding demand for improvements, upgrades, and modernisation throughout infrastructures from solar and wind generators to points of use. Equipment targeting residential applications faces intense cost pressure, with demands for miniaturisation to

This article discusses the options a circuit designer has to turn on and off supply lines in electronic systems. While the task sounds trivial, there are many things to consider for a successful implementation.
In some electrical systems, disconnecting a supply line is necessary. This may be in the form
