Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

CMOS chips are vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) due to thin gate oxides used, and therefore, protection devices are required at input pads. Larger size is preferable for the protection ...

Abstract: Over the past years, the control of the clutch clamping force has been studied to guarantee a smooth/fast and low-wear engagement. Recent studies have highlighted the interest in controlling ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

The transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode protects electronic signal lines and interfaces designed to operate within specific voltage ranges. Exceeding these limits exposes sensitive semiconductors ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional materials have modernized a broad interest in electronic devices. Along with many advantages, their atomic-level thickness makes them sensitive under high electrical stress.
