Rectifiers and ac-dc power supplies employ large bulk capacitors. During power-up, these capacitors require a large amount of current to charge up, resulting in a large inrush current. This inrush ...

Primary concerns with battery-operated devices include battery protection from inrush and short circuit currents caused by connected load, and load protection from voltage spikes when battery load ...

How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

Figure-1 shows the schematic diagram of the device. P1 is used to connect the 220V-AC input and the ON/OFF switch to the circuit. C1 is used to reduce the AC voltage. The value of the C1 also ...

When overloads and short circuits occur, there’s always a tradeoff between the power supply shutting down the entire 24 VDC supply and keeping load circuits that aren’t impacted by the failure ...

MALVERN, Pa., Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of insulated, surface-mount inrush current limiting positive temperature ...
