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 ...

[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 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 ...

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. D3 is included for ...

Robustness and reliability have made RS-485 an industrial workhorse. A minimum differential signal swing of 1.5V and reliable operation over common-mode voltages ranging from -7V to +12V have ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intersil’s new ISL9204 is a single-cell Li-ion battery charger chip with a 28V input voltage rating that eliminates the over-voltage protection circuit normally required in low-input chargers. The ...
