Switching voltage

Operations such as the above are carried out very rapidly by the computer through voltage switching, each switch lasting only a few nanoseconds. Therefore, although it is clumsier to represent numbers in binary for the human mind, and instead we use ten symbols (0, 1,. .., 9) to help us with complicated arithmetic, the speed with which we can do this arithmetic is nothing like the speed of the computer. Computer addition seems instantaneous, whereas human response to addition takes a finite time. 

Sometimes the load itself may call for a soft start and a smoother acceleration and a reduced voltage switching may become essential.

Ripple voltage (switching power supplies) This is measured in peak-to-peak volts, and its frequency and level should be acceptable to the load circuits. 

The Zero-voltage Switching Quasi-resonant Converter... 

A second type of quasi-resonant converter is the zero voltage switching (ZVS) quasi-resonant family. A ZVS QR buck converter and its waveforms are shown in Figure 4-11. Here the power switch remains on most of the time and performs resonant off periods to decrease the output power. Actually, the ZCS and the ZVS families mirror one another. If you were to compare the switch voltage and current waveforms between the two families, and if one inverts both the voltage and current waveforms in order to reference them to the power switch, the waveforms would have a striking resemblance to one another. 

As with PWM switching power supplies, there are comparable topologies within the zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) quasi-resonant families. You ll immediately recognize the family members upon seeing them.

The battery was tapped at 240 and 150 volts and the two leads were run to the voltage switch. This switch was set at 150V for level hombing and at 240V for dive bombing, but it could not he used to open the circuit. 

Mohamadi et al. [96] reported online preconcentration of human serum albumin (HSA) and its immunocomplex with a monoclonal antibody on-chip coupled to isotachophoresis. The sample injection, preconcentration, and separation were carried out continuously and controlled by a sequential voltage switching program. Preconcentration was carried out with on-chip nondenaturing gel electrophoresis in methylcellulose solution. Furthermore, the authors applied this method for immunoassay of HSA. The separation of HSA and its immunocomplex was achieved in 25 seconds in 1 cm of the microchannel with induced fluorescence detection at 7.5 pM.
