This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

Advancements in power TVS diodes have made them an effective alternative to metal oxide varistors (MOVs) in protecting AC and DC power supplies from power line surges and indirect lightning strikes.

A DC/DC converter’s primary function is to protect the application. In the simplest level, the protection consists of matching the load to the primary power supply and stabilizing the output voltage ...

The rapid expansion of high voltage direct current (HVDC) grids, driven by the massive integration of renewable energy sources, has underscored the critical role of DC circuit breakers (DCCBs) and ...

Bourns, Inc. announced the introduction of new high Power TVS diode models in SMD packaging for use in AC and DC power line applications. The new models feature high current bidirectional port ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
