If you have an application in which a MOSFET is already used to switch a load, it is relatively easy to add short-circuit or overload protection. Here we make use of the internal resistance RDS(ON), ...

Output short-circuit faults, overload conditions, other fault conditions, and high capacitance loads at startup can seriously strain or bring down an input supply, as well as damage the load. The ...

In test-and-measurement applications, you must provide overvoltage protection for the output terminals of amplifiers, power supplies, and similar components. The conventional way to accomplish this ...

Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

Understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers create reliable consumer products.

Therefore, ROHM has strengthened its lineup of 100V power MOSFETs, ideal for hot-swap circuits in AI servers, to meet market needs. The new RS7P200BM adopts a compact DFN5060-8S (5060-size) package, ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...
