The LTC4012, LTC4012-1, and LTC4012-2 switch-mode battery-charger controllers from Linear Technology target multiple battery chemistries. The LTC4012 supports Li-ion/polymer, ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced an active OR'ing controller chip that is designed to enable shared power system designers to replace heat-dissipating blocking diodes with high efficiency MOSFETs.

A family of fast-charge, 4-A, high-efficiency battery charger controllers target multiple battery chemistries. The LTC4012 supports Li-ion/Polymer, NiMH, NiCd, and sealed lead ...

The heat dissipated by the Schottky blocking diodes traditionally used to protect a load from faulty power supplies is high, relating directly to its 0.5V forward voltage drop. Replacing the diodes ...
