A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

Parallel Circuit Calculations provides a comprehensive overview of the rules and formulas used to calculate electrical quantities and capacity. Using a direct current parallel circuit as an example, ...

Another important concern is the balance of currents that flow in multiple strings. We know that two or three strings of LEDs will have different combined forward voltages. The LED driver will deliver ...

Why don't your Christmas lights work? Sadly, in the event of a string of lights going out on your tree, replacing the strand is usually the best option. It's pretty difficult to find that one bulb ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

It’s often necessary to connect point-of- load (POL) dc/dc power supply modules in parallel to get a sufficiently high-current output for applications such as test instruments, blade servers, and so ...

This is a design idea of a low cost dimmable LED ballast employing the valley fill current shaping circuit. This design features Power Integrations LinkSwitch-TN LNK306PN. It meets ENERGY STAR SSL ...
