This application note is a continuation on Fairchild’s 2-part series note on protecting devices against reverse polarity. This part introduces the remaining five (5) methods or ways on reverse ...

The Schottky to Ground method is nearly identical to the Diode to Ground method described above. It requires that the potential source of reverse polarity be well understood, and that the Schottky be ...

Fairchild Semiconductor offers a new line of low-power, application-specific, reverse polarity protection switches which also feature optional over-voltage transient protection. The devices provide ...

As they took him away, Clyde realized that leaving out that protection FET to save $0.35 had been a poor design decision. (Courtesy of Autoevolution) Electronics and automobiles have a long history ...

When I inspect houses where an amateur has been doing electrical work, there's a good chance that I'll find outlets with reversed polarity. This happens when the hot and neutral wires get flipped ...

Miller Electric's XMT 350 FieldPro system with Polarity Reversing eliminates the need to manually swap leads between welding processes. The push-button Quick-Select technology automatically selects ...

i'm thinking about getting the Just Cooler tt-900 from 2cooltek. i am trying to get more air into my case b/c as of right now it has negative pressure and the intake fan in the front of my case is ...

[Big Clive] picked up a keychain battery to charge his phone and found out that it was no bargain. Due to a wiring mistake, the unit was wired backward, delivering -5 V instead of 5 V. The good news ...
