FET constant current sources use JFETs and MOSFETs to deliver a load current, which remains constant despite changes in load resistance or supply voltage. A FET constant current source is a type of ...

The first part of this three-part series explores why special electronic loads are needed, delving into their electrical characteristics and their role in power-supply test. Part 1 of this series ...

Some projects are both educational and useful. We believe that [Jasper’s] Arduino based electronic load is one of those project. [Jasper’s] electronic load can not only act as a constant current load, ...

Suppose that you need to test a 1.5V, AA-size alkaline battery. You can apply a short circuit and measure current, or you can measure open-circuit voltage, but neither method properly tests the ...

Abstract: Cascaded converters need to be tightly regulated to have better system performance and faster dynamic response. One of the major issues in cascaded converters is that they behaves as a ...

The boost converter feeding a constant power load (CPL) is a non-minimum phase system that is prone to the destabilizing effects of the negative incremental resistance of the CPL and presents a major ...

Here is a nice hack you may find very useful if you have a cheaper bench power supply that supports constant current limit protection (CC mode) and the only way to set or check your max current limit ...
