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 ...

When a sensitive circuit must under no circumstances have too high a supply voltage applied, then some means of disconnecting the supply must be provided. One way to achieve this is to trigger a ...

This circuit provides undervoltage and overvoltage protection for dc input supply voltages (see the figure). Its undervoltage cutoff is 6 V, and its overvoltage cutoff is 11.5 V. When VIN is less than ...

Linear Technology's LTC4361 is a 2.5 to 5.5V overvoltage and overcurrent protection controller designed to safeguard low voltage, portable electronics from damaging input voltage transients and ...

Ready for 48V automotive power architectures, the L98GD8 driver from STMicroelectronics has eight fully configurable channels for driving MOSFETs in flexible high-side and low-side configurations.

Rather than use linear surge stoppers for overvoltage protection, opt for switching surge varieties, as the load will continue running even when surges last for a long time. Linear vs. switching surge ...

Linear Technology has launched an overvoltage protection controller for electronic systems that operates from 9V to greater than 500V. The LTC4366 floating surge stopper utilises an adjustable ...
