The need for hot insertion capability has dramatically increased due to the demand of reducing system down time and portability. The effect of hot insertion is an inrush current or surge current which ...

Milpitas, Calif. — Sipex Corp. has released the SP619, an 800 mA current limit switch in a SOT-23 package. The SP619 provides fault protection in a wide range of applications such as protecting ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of discrete power devices, wide band gap ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

Each device in the family handles overcurrent events differently. The MAX4995A/MAX4995AL/MAX4995AF go into an autoretry mode, the MAX4995B latches off the switch, and the MAX4995C places the device in ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) introduces the AP22653Q programmable current limiting power switch. Streamlining power system design and assuring ongoing reliability, ...

Since the Raspberry Pi 2 was released, everyone building RetroPi emulators has been graced with four USB ports. For those of us doing useful stuff with the Pi, those ports are a little anemic: you can ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...
