Most dc-dc converters require a soft-start circuit to limit the in-rush current at startup. Although a smooth soft start is required for systems with power-on reset (POR), this is difficult to ...

Available from multiple sources, the UC384X family of current-mode, PWM (pulse-width-modulated) power-supply controllers offers good performance and has spawned a ...

I am driving MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration at 540 Hz with signals from an external unit (PWM controller is not being used to generate the switching pulse). Is there a soft-start circuit that ...

This simple 12 volt halogen lamp soft starter circuit extends the life of the halogen lamps by eliminating the sharp rise in the temperature of the filament; when the filament in cold it has a very ...

For vehicle functional-safety applications, STMicroelectronics has combined hot-swap, soft-start and ideal-diode OR-ing in an IC intended to work with a pair of external n-channel mosfets over 4 to ...

[Reinhard] has a great collection of DIY SCUBA projects. One interesting hack he put together is a soft start circuit to improve the life of the bulb in a flashlight. Despite LEDs getting cheaper, ...
