Many applications today, including industrial machinery, power tools and other high current equipment, use limiting inrush current as a major design consideration to combat the problematic effects of ...

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 ...

Solid-state overcurrent-protection ICs such as USB switches and card-slot power switches offer a simple and robust protection for pins at risk of overloads and short circuits. Such switches, however, ...

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.
