This overvoltage protection or crowbar protection circuit is used where we need protection against high voltage surge. The circuit has a few components, it is very easy to build and will protect your ...

Overvoltage-protection circuits often protect electronic devices from power-supply transients, such as a rise from plugging in batteries or an external power adapter. Although these devices ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has expanded its electronic fuse (eFuse) lineup with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series. The five new products are the TCKE601RA, TCKE601RL, TCKE602RM, TCKE603RA, ...

The MAX6495-MAX6499 series of overvoltage protection circuits from Maxim Integrated Products operates as a switch controller to either disconnect or limit the output voltage to a load during an ...

Systems incorporating microprocessors, FPGAs, ASICs, and other expensive devices can sustain costly damage if the power supply voltages exceed the nominal values. Rather than hoping for the best, good ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for overvoltage protection can be found in Art. 242. This Article is new with the 2020 NEC, and it replaces Art. 280 and Art. 285. Those Articles ...

Ricoh has launched a switch IC, the R5560Z, which protects devices from an overvoltage when external power adapters are failing. The devices is a CMOS-based high-current and overvoltage protection ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH expands its electronic fuse (eFuse) lineup with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series ...

Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. For example, fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe expands its range of electronic fuse devices with the introduction of the 40V TCKE6 series.

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

At one time, the National Electrical Code (NEC) contained two Articles you won’t find as of the 2020 revision: Art. 280 (surge arrestors) and Art. 285 (transient voltage surge suppressors or TVSS).
