The importance of current limiting. A flexible solution for adding current limiting. In some power-management applications, precise current limiting is required. This is necessary either to protect ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

June 20, 2011 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3015, a 1.5A negative low dropout linear regulator featuring fast transient response, low noise, and precision current limit. With its ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

These current-limit switches feature a low 32mΩ (typ) on-resistance and operate from a +2.3V to +5.5V input-voltage range. The current limit is adjustable from 250mA to 2.5A, making these devices ...

If you’re designing a universal port, you will be expected to provide power. This was a lesson learned in the times of LPT and COM ports, where factory-made peripherals and DIY boards alike had to ...
