There's no telling what your co-workers will do to your bench supply when you walk away momentarily. This Idea for Design describes a simple crowbar circuit that will prevent supply-overvoltage ...
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 ...
It protects sensitive electrical equipment from unplanned power disturbances including harmonics, surge, sags, swells, ...
For the JPEG version of this article, click here. Sensitive circuits are prone to failure if stressed by overvoltage transients. In some cases, the damage can be extensive and expensive. The source of ...
Find out more about two topologies for precision DAC protection against sustained overvoltage events: DAC with and without ...
Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. For example, fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with ...
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 ...
At one time, the National Electrical Code (NEC) contained two Articles you won’t find as of the 2020 revision: Art. 280 (surge arrestors) and Art. 285 (transient voltage surge suppressors or TVSS).
