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 ...

Accidentally connecting a battery reverse can be a real killer in electronic circuits. There are a number of ways to provide protection and all have the expected advantages and disadvantages. Any ...

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...

The board also needs reverse-voltage protection so that a higher voltage power source doesn’t back drive a lower voltage one. Now, for the output power protection, the board needs current-limit ...
