RF instruments and wireless transceivers often feature an input for an external reference clock, such as the ubiquitous 10MHz reference input port found on RF instruments. Many of these same systems ...

The bq24314C is a highly integrated circuit designed to provide protection to Li-ion batteries from failures of the charging circuit. The IC continuously monitors the input voltage, the input current, ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Electronic equipment is vulnerable to surges applied to system power supplies, which can affect associated loads and cause system and component failure. To combat this, a recently-introduced "surge ...

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, ...

This Single Cell Super Capacitor Protection IC has been tailored explicitly for charging backup power sources under extreme conditions. Backup power is essential in numerous settings, but lithium-ion ...
