Circuit protection has become a crucial design consideration to protect sensitive applications against overcurrent conditions. In most applications, overcurrent and overtemperature conditions are an ...

Every time a user plugs in, operates or leaves a system unattended, an overcurrent fuse should be there to ensure against circuit operation above a specified value. BRIAN AHEARNE, Product Line Manager ...

One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at ...

This design idea describes a resettable high-speed fuse that uses only a few off-the-shelf parts, resets itself after blowing, and doesn't require a special current-sense resistor. While the circuit ...

Toshiba has expanded its range of eFuse circuit breaker ICs with a 53mΩ version that trips in 320ns, all in a 3 x 3mm package. Dubbed TCKE712BNL, it is aimed at consumer goods including cameras, ...

Diodes Inc has introduced the NIS5135, a self-protected resettable electronic fuse designed to enhance system reliability against shutdown and catastrophic failures. The fuse is suited to plug and ...

Report Ocean published the latest research report on the (Self-) Resettable Fuse Market. In order to comprehend a market holistically, a variety of factors must be evaluated, including demographics, ...

The fuse described in this design idea does not drop the connection, it simply limits the output current. A behavior that is similar to a polyfuse, however the circuit shown in Figure 1 is more ...
