The proposed ultrafast discrete short-circuit protection circuit comprises two stages: a soft turn-off stage and a hard turn-off stage. The figure below shows the circuit diagram of the proposed ...

You can build this kind of JFET circuit using discrete JFETs, but it’s also integrated into some amplifiers. In general, when you see the term “input-overvoltage-protected” in amplifier datasheets, ...

May be required at all gates to prevent damage during fabrication.May also be required at all input/output pads connected to a sensitive region.May include shorting the gate to the source or applying ...

One set of circuit protection devices can protect both supplies from overcurrent and reverse polarity. Use either a surface-mounted fuse or a resettable PPTC. Provide reverse polarity protection for ...

Designers traditionally solve input protection issues with discrete protection components. Large series resistors are used to limit the current during a fault, and Shottky or zener diodes to the ...

Input Protection plus Common-Mode Distortion Now, suppose we need an input buffer with overvoltage protection and we’re not free to use premium, low-capacitance devices, perhaps for reasons of cost.

Figure 1 A possible battery and load protection discrete circuit. For a 3.7V Li-Ion cell, this level is around 2.5V. An undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit is needed to disconnect the battery from the ...

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4368, a circuit protection controller ensuring safe voltage and current levels for 2.5V to 60V electronics in battery-powered automotive, industrial and ...

Modern electronic systems require a host of different regulated voltages to power various subsystems. The number of voltage rails has risen as new generations of processors, memory devices, and other ...

Gallium Nitride enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistors (GaN E-HEMTs) are being designed into power electronic systems due to the fast switching capability. The GaN-based converters obtain ...
