Once an engineer has designed the audio circuit of an amplifier, it would be nice to think that most of their task is complete. However, from a system perspective, that is far from true. At the very ...

Most AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters have internal current-limiting circuits to protect the power device, and to some degree its load. The majority of over-current-protections include an ...

Infineon Technologies is to develop a two-terminal semiconductor device that acts as a circuit breaker for hundreds of volts and amps: doubling the performance of its mains-voltage super-junction ...

Current measurement can serve as a means for managing system thermal performance. 1 One of the main reasons for managing system thermals via current measurement is to prevent system damage via fault ...
