Guitar amplifiers using output devices such as the TDA7293 (100 W) or LM3886 (68 W) are surprisingly often damaged as a result of excessive supply voltage in the quiescent state. The transformers are ...
Fig 1. Placing this two-terminal circuit between a GFCI line-load terminal and ground creates an adjustable line-voltage limiter. Fig 2. With the trip point set at 133 V rms, the circuit draws less ...
Some systems require a voltage limiter to protect the input circuit. Designers can connect diodes (Fig. 1) to V CC and Gnd to create a simple solution. This simplicity, however, comes at a ...
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 ...
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) specification requires a connected USB device to present a load to the host or hub of no greater than 10 µF in parallel with 44Ω, including the effects of any bypass ...
American Superconductor Corporation and Siemens AG announced commercial-grade performance levels for a medium voltage superconductor surge protection device known as a fault current limiter (FCL). The ...
