The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

Alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) circuits are capable of carrying very different currents, as illustrated by the ratings on the switch in Figure 1. This is why it’s so important for ...

How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

Although we do our best to shield our portable devices from physical harm by using protective cases, or employing rugged design techniques, there is another layer of protection that can be applied.

Load-powered latching relay architecture enables battery-free HVAC control designs while reducing system complexity, size, ...
