Learn about clipping and clamping circuits which are nothing but wave-shaping circuits. Dr. Chitralekha Mahanta from ECE Department, IITG conducted this lecture.
Improving transient load, line response (Part 2)
This article focuses on closing the feedback loop in an isolated power supply with a TL431 shunt regulator.
Controlling LED lighting with PLC
PLC is a technology well-suited for performing sophisticated LED-lighting control at a low installation cost with no new wires.
Modernising meter readings, data collection systems
The AMI (also known as smart grid) requires a combination of different technologies that rely on network connectivity, posing significant security issues that must be addressed from the beginning.
Attaining energy efficiency with motors
By dedicating ourselves to maximising energy efficiency, we can significantly cut the costs of operating the standard electric appliances we all use as well as reducing the amount of energy they consume.
Understanding USB port charging (Part 2)
With consumer demands for fewer cords to power and connect their devices, many current handheld devices are required to charge from USB sources and AC-wall adapters.
Simplifying design of intrinsic safety barrier
As applications for electronic instrumentation proliferate, an increasing number of applications require equipment safe enough to operate in hazardous environments.
Elusive 2020 target for solar power
V. Nanda shares: "The Indian government just announced that they have achieved about 2.33GW of grid-interactive renewable energy during 2009-10.That target of 20GW solar power by 2020 is looking increasingly elusive at this pace..."
Ram Anant explains: "Enhanced PF can be achieved in many ways. Larger low frequency input inductor may give you the PF of 0.85-0.9..."
3kW fixed-off-time (FOT) power factor correction
Regulation in terms of electrical efficiency, electromagnetic noise and reliability of the electronic apparatus are pushing to use power factor correction in almost all applications.

Will the Gulf oil spill con-
taminate India's energy future?
The impact of the Gulf oil spill on prices and availability is likely to be modest. However, if India is to become an economic and tech leader, it needs to pay attention to these shifts.
Here's a compilation of worldwide energy consumption and its impact on our environment.
ISA identifies oppor-
tunities for India
In an interview with EE Times India, ISA talks about the challenges ahead and urges government initiatives to turn them into business opportunities
Is 'More than Moore' still valid in electronics industry?
According to Rajeev Mehtani of Cypress Semiconductor, the combination of programmable analogue and digital blocks will help the semiconductor industry move over to 'More than Moore' much faster.
