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

When a sensitive circuit must under no circumstances have too high a supply voltage applied, then some means of disconnecting the supply must be provided. One way to achieve this is to trigger a ...

Rather than use linear surge stoppers for overvoltage protection, opt for switching surge varieties, as the load will continue running even when surges last for a long time. Linear vs. switching surge ...

Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, an ultralow quiescent current (IQ) surge stopper, providing compact overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4380, ...
