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.

Designing the reference input circuit for an RF system can prove tricky. One challenge is maintaining the phase noise performance of the input clock while meeting the protection, buffering and ...

This same technique works in a variety of other applications that may be connected directly to the input adapter port. Another circuit commonly connected directly to the adapter port is a Li-ion ...

Reverse-input protection is possible due to the wide operating capabilities of the surge-stopper devices (capable of withstanding up to 60 V below ground potential on some devices).

A key feature of the NB7123 is the use of high-side MOSFETs which allow the ground of the protection circuit to be connected ...

This ensures complete isolation of grounding and noise-related input power problems that can affect the drive. Will an isolation transformer provide better protection than a line reactor? Yes.

Intelligent PDUs help deliver energy-efficient computing by monitoring and protecting critical data center power.

Building your first circuit is empowering, but make sure it’s not too empowering. [Jon] sent in a great tutorial of power protection circuits to make sure you don’t release the mystical blue ...

In primary circuits, creepage and clearance distances can sometimes be reduced if shorts across the connections are guaranteed to open the fuse. DC input converters require fuse types that ...

The same nuisance tripping may occur with CAFCI breakers, which sense for L-N, L-G, and series arcs. All of these “smart” circuit breakers are equipped with electronics, which makes them more prone to ...

The AOZ1376 offers programmable soft start and comprehensive protection against short-circuit, thermal overload, reverse voltage and over voltage. The over-voltage protection threshold is ...
