Excessive current flow must be prevented so that the electrical circuit can be reliably protected.

Continuous supply voltage via an uninterruptible power supply is crucial for a number of applications, but it can be tough to ensure at all times. This Idea for Design offers ...

With a single-inductor, multiple-output (SIMO) converter, multiple voltages can be generated with just one energy-storage inductor, providing for a more compact power-supply architectur...

Voltage converters rarely offer an adjustable current limit. However, a high-side N-channel MOSFET static switch driver offers a possible solution to not only limiting current...

This Idea for Design discusses a circuit that not only converts transducer measurements, but also delivers two pulses to control counter functions like Latch and Reset.
