This application note describes the reasons why working voltage ratings are not usually indicated in datasheets. It briefly defines voltage rating, calculation, and the test methods to determine the ...

Electrical ratings are interdependent. The current through a component depends on the applied voltage (waveform and duty cycle) and the component impedance. The impedance of a component depends on the ...

For decades, power-supply designers have set their inductor ripple current to somewhere between 20% and 40% of their power supply’s full rated output current. This is considered a good starting point ...
