Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...
The thyristor or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) provides a convenient latching mechanism for switching power to a load. However, once the thyristor is triggered into conduction, it supplies no ...
Melexis has squeezed a magnetic circuit inside an SMD package to get an end-sensitive Hall effect latch for slimline motor applications. “We’ve responded to the automotive industry’s demand for more ...
