t < t0: The operator signals their desire to initiate a charge session. If the vehicle is ready, the vehicle's mechanical interlock allows the connector. t0 – t1: Once the vehicle connector is inserted into the vehicle, a lock is engaged to prevent its connector removal. Control Pilot communication is used to exchange initial charging […]

MOSFET operation can be divided into two basic modes: linear and switching. In linear mode, the transistor’s gate-to-source voltage is sufficient to enable current flow through the channel, but the channel resistance is relatively high. The voltage across the channel and the current flowing through the channel are both significant, resulting in high power dissipation […]

Noise is an unwanted disturbance that interferes with the desired signal in an electronic circuit, introducing error into the system. The countermeasures that we take to suppress the noise component depend on whether it’s common-mode or differential-mode. In this article, we’ll learn how common-mode noise can interfere with differential signals. We’ll then discuss sources of […]
