Voltage clamps for protecting low-voltage dc circuits require a new approach to circuit design. Many commonly used voltage clamps were built for systems of 5 V or higher, but lower-voltage systems ...

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

Abstract: In this article, a novel electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit for GaN HEMT is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed ESD clamp consists of a p-GaN HEMT, current-limiting resistors, and a ...

The active clamp transformer reset technique offers many well-documented advantages over traditional single-ended reset techniques, including lower voltage stress on the main MOSFET, the ability to ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—Silanna Semiconductor has expanded its line of fully integrated active clamp flyback (ACF) controllers with the 60W SZ1105 Flyback PWM Controller. Like its 30W SZ1101 sibling, Silanna’s ...
