Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

Testing power supplies and batteries requires current loads capable of sinking large current and dissipating substantial amounts of power. A simple but accurate current load can be built using just a ...

Although we do our best to shield our portable devices from physical harm by using protective cases, or employing rugged design techniques, there is another layer of protection that can be applied.

The design challenges for a high-power electronic load extend beyond the electronics. The best electronic load circuit will not function well without a good connection to the device under test. The ...
