Voltage clamps for protecting low-voltage dc circuits require a new approach to circuit design. Many commonly used voltage clamps were built for systems of 5 V or higher, but lower-voltage systems ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its USB Protection portfolio with the introduction of its KTS1287 and KTS1289 flat-clamp ...

Right, but you're still never worse off for having MOVs upstream, no matter how many there are. The threat of fire depends on the strength of the surge, not the number of MOVs in your circuit. I don't ...

In the quest for higher speed and lower costs, today’s modern electronics use increasingly dense integrated circuit technologies, whose sensitivity to surges creates difficult challenges for designers ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

The active clamp transformer reset technique offers many well-documented advantages over traditional single-ended reset techniques, including lower voltage stress on the main MOSFET, the ability to ...
