Nexperia has introduced its first 5V load switch IC, which operates across 2.5 – 5.5V with 110mA to 2.5A current limiting. The 2 x 2mm NPS4053, as it will be know, is optimised use in portable devices ...

The need for hot insertion capability has dramatically increased due to the demand of reducing system down time and portability. The effect of hot insertion is an inrush current or surge current which ...

Industrial automation customers can improve their short-circuit protection with a new line of current-limiting, molded-case circuit breakers from Rockwell Automation. The line expands the ...

Designed and dual-rated for AC and DC applications, the Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer protection for application with up to ...

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.

Suiting use in USB ports/hubs, cell phones, laptops, flat-panel televisions, and set-top boxes, the TPS2552/53 power-distribution switches enable end equipment to handle heavy capacitive loads and ...

A. An overcurrent device (typically a fast-acting fuse) that reduces the fault current to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the current-limiting device wasn’t ...

Turning on a power source into a highly capacitive load can wreak havoc on circuit elements and protection devices. Foldback current limiting allows circuit elements to withstand transient currents ...
