Dynamic Power Dissipation Considerations for Solid State Relays
Understand the key attributes of this all-electronic switching component and how to take advantage of them

Ensuring the thermal integrity of your IC package/PC board design
Some basic tests will verify your PCB/IC thermal modeling and reality

Let's go passive: giving these components their due
Passive components are still critical in circuits, nowhere more so than in power-supply designs; here are some popular passive-centric articles which have appeared at this site

Fundamentals of designing with MOSFET power switches
Understand how to use these basic, versatile, essential discrete components

Some tips for charging from USB sources (Part 2 of 2)
Understand the subtleties of using the ubiquitous USB port as a charging and power source

Some tips for charging from USB sources (Part 1 of 2)
Understand the subtleties of using the ubiquitous USB port as a charging and power source

The elegance of ferrite beads as a circuit design and problem-solving component
Understand how this apparently "simple" passive component can help, or even hurt, your circuit's performance

Achieving high efficiency with power switches
This how-to describes the general features of the asymmetric PWM half-bridge converters with current doubler and synchronous rectifier. In addition, one example with some experimental results, is shown using FSFA-series, Fairchild's Green Power Switches for asymmetric-controlled topologies.
