The general approach to an electronic load is to use a transistor across the input terminals so the current flows from drain (collector) to source (emitter). A resistance is affected by causing a ...

Performance under transient loads has become the most important specification of voltage regulators used to power a wide array of products whose current demands vary quickly during operation. Testing ...

You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

Having been around since the early 1960s, electronic loads evolved out of the need to emulate real world applications in testing power supplies as well as batteries, and now fuel cells. The first ...
