In the quest for higher speed and lower costs, today’s modern electronics use increasingly dense integrated circuit technologies, whose sensitivity to surges creates difficult challenges for designers ...

The USB Specification requires current limiting and/or power switching for USB power management, and references resettable polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices and solid-state ...

A. An overcurrent device (typically a fast-acting fuse) that reduces the fault current to a magnitude substantially less than that obtainable in the same circuit if the current-limiting device wasn’t ...

The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...
