Central Semiconductor has created a line novel of zero temperature coefficient current limiting diodes, packaged in DPAK and rated at between 27 and 575mA. Minimum voltages range across 1.5 to 2V – ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...

Turning on a power source into a highly capacitive load can wreak havoc on circuit elements and protection devices. Foldback current limiting allows circuit elements to withstand transient currents ...

Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

API Technologies Corp. announced its latest development in NTC thermistors, Surge-Gard inrush current limiting devices. API Technologies Corp. announced its latest development in NTC thermistors, ...

In the late 1990s I was working for a company that manufactures sub-systems for tramways, subways and light rail car manufacturers. One day my boss tells me that one of our inverters, a 5 kW DC to ...

Abstract: The mechanism of reverse recovery failure in the lateral integrated Bootstrap Diode (BST-Diode) is investigated through physical TCAD simulation in this paper. It is found that the crowding ...

Abstract: A laser diode driver and a limiting amplifier for multirate and multistandard optical transceiver modules from 155Mb/s to 2.1Gb/s had been developed using a 0.5-mum SiGe BiCMOS technology.
