The AlphaDFN family AOC3862 from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOS) features a common-drain 12-V dual n-channel MOSFET with source-to-source on-resistance (Rsson), typical 2.38 mW at 4.5-V gate drive ...

Guest columnist Faraz Hasan, marketing and business development manager at Tyco Electronics Circuit Protection Products says that LEDs can require overcurrent protection despite built-in safety ...

A key subsystem in a programmable logic controller is the analog input module, which provides a high-precision front end to measure a wide variety of sensors. In many cases, however, the amplifier ...

A German research team has developed a semiconductor-based protection concept tailored to renewable energy systems that forces a permanent short circuit in less than 1 millisecond in the event of a ...

As graphics processing units (GPUs) and other AI chips are deployed into data centers, it’s becoming critical to regulate the huge amounts of power racing into them. Sudden inrushes of current can ...

We’re used to interfaces such as I2C and one-wire as easy ways to hook up sensors and other peripherals to microcontrollers. While they’re fine within the confines of a small project, they do have a ...

Q. What is the Code rule for sizing short circuit and ground fault protection for a single motor branch circuit? A. The motor branch circuit, short circuit and ground fault protective device must ...

Q. What is the Code rule for sizing short circuit and ground fault protection for a motor feeder? A. Feeder conductors must be protected against short circuits and ground faults by a protective device ...
