This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

If the car battery terminals are reverse connected during a jump start, vehicle upkeep, or repair, components in the associated automotive electronics modules may be damaged if they cannot handle the ...

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...

Linear Tech has created a protection IC that prevents over-current flow in both directions between supply and load, as well as protecting the load from reverse polarity on the supply. Called LTC4368, ...

As they took him away, Clyde realized that leaving out that protection FET to save $0.35 had been a poor design decision. (Courtesy of Autoevolution) Electronics and automobiles have a long history ...

Puzzled by choosing circuit protection devices? Follow these guidelines and your electrical system will fall into place. Is it sufficient to select protective devices based entirely on their ability ...
