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.

When the lights go out, a portable generator can feel like a lifeline, but if you rush the startup, you can end up staring at tripped breakers instead of restored power. The difference between a ...

When the grid goes dark, the difference between a calm night and a cascade of tripped breakers usually comes down to the ...

The TPS22929 is a small, low rON load switch with controlled turn on. The device contains a P-channel MOSFET that can operate over an input voltage range of 1.4 V to 5.5 V. The switch is controlled by ...

Leviton has announced a new version of its Load Center breaker box for homes, and it’s adding an integrated Wi-Fi or Ethernet hub that will let you manage your home electrical setup directly from your ...
