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 ...

As they took him away, Clyde realized that leaving out that protection FET to save $0.35 had been a poor design decision. (Courtesy of Autoevolution) Electronics and automobiles have a long history ...

Most of the Allegro unidirectional current sensor ICs are trimmed such that the zero ampere output is at 0.1 × VCC. This application note documents a simple operational amplifier circuit which can be ...

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...
