A custom comparator IC that has fast response time and hysteresis protects a car's engine control unit from failures on monitored peripherals that create high current conditions. In most modern cars, ...
The sketch below shows a handy little circuit for keeping tabs on a high side current via an output signal that is ground referenced. With only two PNP transistors (2N2905 or similar) and four ...
This technical note is about isolated voltage or current sensing with the use of Avago’s ACPL-K370 / K376 Optocouplers. This article gives an overview of the ACPL-K370 / K376 Optocouplers. This device ...
