Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection for always-on 4V to 72V electronics in ...

The automotive industry demands cost-effective and fully reliable electrical systems, but this tough and potentially destructive environment poses a huge challenge for the power semiconductor devices ...

Generally, the Art. 210 requirements for branch circuits are prerequisites for applying requirements found elsewhere. This fact is exemplified by the overcurrent protection requirements [Sec. 210.20].

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4364, a surge stopper with ideal diode, providing compact and low-loss protection for 4V to 80V electronics in automotive, avionics and industrial ...

Branch-circuit conductors must have overcurrent protection in accordance with Sec. 240.4, and the overcurrent protection device rating must not exceed the rating marked on the appliance [Sec. 422.11].

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 ...
