Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

In this circuit, a MOSFET protects a reverse-connected battery from excessive current. The MOSFET conducts only when the battery is correctly connected, which lets the battery charge or discharge. In ...

To ensure that the security system components and network function reliably over the lifetime of the installation, transient protection (ESD and surge) should be considered Security cameras and ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

The market of USB-enabled devices is currently about three billion units a year. In 2010 the number of devices with USB 3.0 ports reached about 100 million units. This number will begin to increase ...
