Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Recently, an engineer asked for a solution to provide high-side monitoring of a 20-A load with an accurate overcurrent ...

The circuit presented by Cor Van Rij for characterizing JFETs is a clever solution. Noteworthy is the use of a five-pin test socket wired to accommodate all of the possible JFET pinout arrangements.

Question: Could I easily and precisely limit a current to my load? Answer: Yes, there are current limiting ICs available. In some power management applications, precise current limiting is required.

Seiko's S-13A1 Series is a positive voltage regulator with a low dropout voltage, high output voltage accuracy, and low current consumption developed based on CMOS technology. Seiko's S-13A1 Series is ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...
