In the modern electronics industry, devices are becoming smaller, faster, and more sophisticated than ever before. To meet ...

From traditional fuses to eFuses, understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

Adding components to provide circuit protection against internal and external mishaps is one of those thankless design jobs, similar to buying insurance. When it’s not needed, it seems like an added ...

Benefits of an e-fuse solution. Optimal voltage range for e-fuse applications. Target applications for e-fuse devices. The trend toward higher bus voltages creates the need for a robust circuit ...

Varistors, also called metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), are used to protect sensitive circuits from a variety of overvoltage conditions. Essentially, these voltage-dependent, nonlinear devices have ...

Anyone who’s spent significant amounts of time salvaging old electronics has probably wished there were a way to take apart a circuit board without desoldering it. [Zeyu Yan] et al seem to have had ...

Chris Drumm is a lifelong gamer with a BA in English writing and years of experience writing articles and news online. He's played hundreds of games in dozens of genres, enjoyed them all, and put more ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...
