The most simple polarity protection tehnique is to connect a series diode to the power line input. The diode conducts only when the power supply protection is correct. But the incovenient is that at ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...

DC/DC converters are not protected against reverse polarity connection. Swapping the VIN+ and VIN- terminals will almost certainly cause immediate failure, so care must be taken to ensure that any ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diodes Incorporated (DIOD) today introduces the AP74502Q and AP74502HQ automotive-compliant* 80V ideal diode controllers, providing robust and reliable protection ...
