Security and fire alarm systems are designed for operation within specified current and voltage ratings. If these ratings are exceeded due to short-circuit or voltage transients, components may ...

Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Overcurrent protection of conductors is an idea so simple that it is almost self-evident. Excessive current in a conductor results in rapid temperature rise, which damages insulation and creates ...

A variety of circuit protection devices can be used to help protect LCD screens from damage caused by excessive current or voltage transients. Overcurrent protection may take the form of a fuse or a ...

Circuit protection, at its simplest, is the intentional addition of a ‘weak link’ in an electrical circuit. This link will be broken in the event of a fault – whether that’s high temperature, ...

Abstract: To address the issue of excessive current in the power transistor during output short-circuit conditions in conventional overcurrent protection circuits for low dropout regulators (LDOs), ...

Abstract: Although class D amplifiers (CDAs) are highly advantageous over their linear amplifier counterparts in terms of power efficiency, their power efficiency remains undesirably low at nominal ...
