Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

This circuit provides latching and high-speed overcurrent protection for power-factor corrected (PFC) boost converters operating at dc voltages to 380 V. Overcurrent damage of PFC front-end boost ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Branch-circuit conductors must have overcurrent protection in accordance with Sec. 240.4, and the overcurrent protection device rating must not exceed the rating marked on the appliance [Sec. 422.11].

Article 240 provides the requirements for selecting and installing overcurrent protection devices (OCPDs). Depending on your application, other Articles may apply ...

Once an engineer has designed the audio circuit of an amplifier, it would be nice to think that most of their task is complete. However, from a system perspective, that is far from true. At the very ...

Toshiba Electronics has added the TB67H451FNG to its line-up of single channel brushed DC motor driver ICs. Housed in an HSOP8 package, the IC features non-latching overcurrent detection. The IC can ...

Lithium batteries—such as lithium ion (Li+), lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4), and lithium polymer (LiPo)—have gained greater market traction in portable battery-powered devices thanks to their ...
