The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

Nexperia has introduced its first 5V load switch IC, which operates across 2.5 – 5.5V with 110mA to 2.5A current limiting. The 2 x 2mm NPS4053, as it will be know, is optimised use in portable devices ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

As electronics engineer I have a mental collection of circuits that I’ve gathered over the years, much like a mechanic collects specialized tools as they work. All engineers do this and the tools in ...

When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 VDC supply and keeping load circuits that aren’t impacted by the failure ...

The lightweight, portable CBS ArcSafe RSA-22 allows technicians to remotely close or trip the load break switch from a safe distance. CBS ArcSafe has introduced its remote switch actuator (RSA) for ...
