The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., has added to its family of current limit protection load switches with the release of a new protected high-side load switch that can operate under a supply voltage range ...

Vishay Intertechnology’s SiP4610A/B protected high-side load switch can operate under a supply voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.5 V and handle a continuous output current of 1 A, with the threshold current ...

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.

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...

Designed with built-in protection for under-voltage, overvoltage, overload, and overtemperature, these devices enable the intelligent driving of capacitive, resistive, or inductive loads, which draw ...
