  • Power Supply Tips

    Power Supply Tips covers the world of power supplies. Power supplies for electronic devices can be broadly divided into linear and switching power supplies. The linear supply is usually a relatively simple design, but it becomes increasingly bulky and heavy for high-current equipment due to the need for large mains-frequency transformers and heat-sinked electronic regulation circuitry. Linear voltage regulators produce regulated output voltage by means of an active voltage divider that consumes energy, thus making efficiency low. A switched-mode supply of the same rating as a linear supply will be smaller, is usually more efficient, but will be more complex.

    Mechatronics Tips

    Mechatronic Tips is an online resource by Design World. Among the thousands of definitions of Mechatronics, we find the terms synergistic, interdisciplinary, flexible, and robust repeated frequently.

    Thus, the synergistic application of interdisciplinary engineering fields for the creation and development of robust, flexible products and processes is as good a definition as any. One of the better definitions, however, is that mechatronics stands simply for the execution of good design practices, regardless of which engineering disciplines are involved.
