Most AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters have internal current-limiting circuits to protect the power device, and to some degree its load. The majority of over-current-protections include an ...

A new method of circuit protection allows designers greater flexibility and increased reliability while reducing the time to market. The long-accepted assumption that hundreds of amperes and thousands ...

There are many cases where a power supply needs an internal current-limiter function, usually built using a current sensor, a control circuit, and a pass transistor. The current sensor itself can be a ...

Here is a nice hack you may find very useful if you have a cheaper bench power supply that supports constant current limit protection (CC mode) and the only way to set or check your max current limit ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Power management and video/audio interface leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its USB-C Overvoltage Protection IC portfolio with the introduction of its new ...

PTC thermistors. Designed to increase board-level efficiency and lower costs in automotive and industrial applications, Vishay BCcomponents PTCES series devices combine maximum energy handling to 340J ...

Branch-circuit conductors must have overcurrent protection in accordance with Sec. 240.4, and the overcurrent protection device rating must not exceed the rating marked on the appliance [Sec. 422.11].

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of inrush current limiting positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors.
