Modern electronic systems require a host of different regulated voltages to power various subsystems. The number of voltage rails has risen as new generations of processors, memory devices, and other ...
The MAX16128/MAX16129 load-dump/reverse-voltage protection circuits protect power supplies from damaging input-voltage conditions, including overvoltage, reverse-voltage, and high-voltage transient ...
When a circuit requires reverse-voltage protection on the power input, the usual approach is a series diode (see the figure, a). But if the input voltage is low—say, two or three AA batteries—the ...
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, ...
A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
Linear Tech has created a protection IC that prevents over-current flow in both directions between supply and load, as well as protecting the load from reverse polarity on the supply. Called LTC4368, ...
