Solar panel powers two-stage lead-acid battery charger

- By Ramesh Khanna and Frank Edrada • National Semiconductor
A solar-powered lead-acid battery charger can ensure that the battery remains fully charged over a wide temperature range. The ideal charging circuit compensates for temperature and sunlight variations, including recovery from shading.

Dynamic and static CMR: impacts to signal integrity

- By Yeo Siok Been • Avagago Technologies
Optocouplers can protect systems and users from high-voltage surges. They can also reject high common-mode transient noise that would otherwise result in abnormal voltage transitions or excessive noise on the output signal.
