For power-supply controllers with an external soft-start pin, however, a simple circuit can be added to convert its non-latching fault protection into one with latched protection.

Additionally, the designer's desire to predict “in-system” performance is complicated by the simple fact that component datasheets can only represent “out-of-circuit” performance parameters, and the ...

In Part 1, we looked at how to size a branch circuit and walked through a simple example. So if you’re sizing a feeder, why don’t you do it the same way? Except in cases where a feeder is also ...

Finally, for ESD protection, circuit protection products such as silicon ESD (SESD) devices can be placed on the USB data lines.
