Power-supply failure takes on significant importance in high-end computer, telecom, medical, and industrial applications, in which uninterruptible power is paramount. In these systems, diode-OR-ed ...

Rather than use linear surge stoppers for overvoltage protection, opt for switching surge varieties, as the load will continue running even when surges last for a long time. Linear vs. switching surge ...

Manufacturers of circuit protection devices continue to enhance the performance of their safety components to protect electronic devices and equipment, ranging from smartphones and wearables to data ...

This circuit provides undervoltage and overvoltage protection for dc input supply voltages (see the figure). Its undervoltage cutoff is 6 V, and its overvoltage cutoff is 11.5 V. D3 is included for ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (I Q) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection for always-on 4V to 72V electronics in ...
