Introduction In the realm of excessive use of portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage, battery safety circuits are significant in ensuring the reliability and safety of battery-powered devices. These circuits are designed to protect batteries from conditions that
Introduction Semtech Corporation is an unrivalled and leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced technology and algorithms solutions. With a rich history spanning over six decades, Semtech has continuously evolved and innovated to meet the ever-changing demands of
Introduction Power systems are the lifeblood of modern society, providing electricity to run homes, businesses, and industries. However, these systems are vulnerable to a variety of threats, including electrical and thermal surges–leading to significant damage and downtime. To protect power
Linear regulator Linear regulators form the basic building block of power supplies used in many electronics today. Despite DC/DC converters being efficient linear regulators are a preferred choice for many designers. Linear regulators are low cost, demand few external components
What are low voltage circuit breakers? The answer to this question is unwittingly simple. Low voltage circuit breakers are circuit breakers whose voltage threshold are 1000V. All circuit breakers that operate at voltages below 1000V are known as low voltage
Oscillators Oscillators are very important electronic circuits without which computers, clocks, quartz watches and radios would be rendered inoperable. Oscillators produce periodic, oscillating electronic signals mostly sine waves or square waves depending on the component values. This makes them very
Overcurrent Overcurrent is a situation whereby current more than the intended is passed through a conductor or an electrical circuit leading to the generation of excess heat, fire or damage to the circuit and equipment at large. There are three
Battery explosions In 2016, Lithium-ion batteries made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Samsung had to recall it’s Samsung Galaxy Note 7 shortly after its launch after several cases of explosions were reported. In Florida, a Note 7 exploded and
