Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

At a power-on cycle, inrush current, if not limited, can peak to tens of even hundreds of amps when capacitive load is present, thereby increasing the probability of failure and decreasing usable ...

Question: Could I easily and precisely limit a current to my load? Answer: Yes, there are current limiting ICs available. In some power management applications, precise current limiting is required.

The AOLV66935 designed by Alpha and Omega Semiconductor is a 100V N-channel High Safe Operating Area (SOA) MOSFET ...
