There are many different types of switches that are intended to address different design requirements, deployment environments, and usage scenarios. I’m always amazed how one thing leads to another.

Circuits as WAN connections battled successfully against packets for years because they guaranteed bandwidth, no matter what. If you bought a T-1 circuit, the service provider nailed up 1.5Mbps from ...

The critical role of snubber circuits in minimizing ringing and overshoot. How snubber circuitry is evolving to adapt to trends in power electronics, like the rising interest in wide-bandgap ...

High-voltage transient spikes generated during power conversion or gate-drive switching can be very harmful. In a motor-drive application, voltage derivation over time (dV/dt) transients may break the ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

Q. What type of circuit breaker does the Code allow to be used for switching duty of lighting circuits? A. Circuit breakers used to switch 120V or 277V fluorescent lighting circuits must be listed and ...
