If you have an application in which a MOSFET is already used to switch a load, it is relatively easy to add short-circuit or overload protection. Here we make use of the internal resistance RDS(ON), ...

Automotive applications need “smarter” drivers for their switches, which handle loads ranging from a fraction of an ampere to several amperes. Not only are these smart chips costly, but many times, ...

SiC MOSFETs are usually susceptible to damage as a result of short-circuiting events because of the fast switching speeds and low on-state resistance. 3 A team of researchers affiliated with the ...

In these scenarios every microsecond counts, and standard protective devices, such as fuses, relays, and moulded case circuit ...

The converters normally employed with solar and wind power generation systems must work reliably under a wide variety of operating conditions. It is customary to protect the IGBTs 9 insulated gate ...
