This application note’s primary goal is to provide an easy-to-understand primer for users who are not familiar with 4-20mA current-loops and their applications. Some of the many topics discussed ...

A serial transmission method that uses a closed loop. It originated with teletype machines that transmitted 20 mA (milliamperes) of current for a 1 bit and the absence of current for a 0 bit. A 60 mA ...

Significant efficiency and performance improvements can be realized by improving the current loop’s power supplies, replacing linear regulators with high-efficiency buck regulators. It also increases ...

IoT connectivity is a hot topic, but it’s not a new idea, except for the “Internet” aspect. Industrial and some commercial applications have been connecting all sorts of sensors and transducers to ...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Gulf Loop Current is a large pool of hot water a couple hundred miles west of Tampa Bay. This hurricane season, it’s looking even more imposing than normal. The loop current ...

Popularity and perceived advantages of current-mode control (CMC) have made it de rigueur as a loop control architecture with many power management IC manufacturers and power supply vendors. Also ...

A satellite map of the Gulf of Mexico reveals the “loop current,” a hairpin curve of hotter than usual water that could help grow future Hurricane Helene into a Category 3 storm. University of Miami ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

The term hot loop is relevant whenever switching regulators and their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are involved. This topic especially comes up in the optimisation of trace routing on printed ...

Here’s a question for you: when your PCB has a ground plane layer, where do return signals flow? It seems like a trick question, but as [Kristof Mulier] explains, there’s more to return path routing ...
