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 ...

Overvoltage-protection circuits often protect electronic devices from power-supply transients, such as a rise from plugging in batteries or an external power adapter. Although these devices ...

Low-voltage microcontrollers often need to control higher-voltage loads via high-side switching. This simple two-transistor circuit enables that control and provides over-voltage protection. Although ...

[C] just recently put together a RepRap. Not wanting to spend the money on a dedicated power supply, he looked around for a cheaper solution and found one in an off-the-shelf ATX computer power supply ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for overvoltage protection can be found in Art. 242. This Article is new with the 2020 NEC, and it replaces Art. 280 and Art. 285. Those Articles ...

The MAX16010-MAX16014 from Maxim Integrated Products are overvoltage protection circuits designed for systems with high transient voltages such as those found in automotive, industrial and ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has added a new eFuse IC, “TCKE712BNL,” to its line-up of eFuse ICs for repeated use that support functions to ...

High demands on the robustness of electronic systems, especially in industrial environments, continually present developers with great challenges. Overvoltage protection is one key design ...

Measuring tiny differences in high-voltage circuits usually requires specialized differential test probes, which are often expensive. Fortunately, it’s possible to build your own high-voltage probe ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
