A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

Load switches come in a variety of forms, including discrete MOSFETs that you can drive with your circuit's onboard logic; gate-drive ICs in combination with discrete FETs; and integrated controller, ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

The AP22802 single channel load switch from Diodes Inc. ensures complete protection for interconnects subject to the risk of surges and short circuits. Optimized for regular USB and other hot-swap ...

Energate Inc. has announced the availability of its latest wired load control switch, the LC2100. Energate has integrated On-Ramp Wireless’ RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) technology into its ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced the introduction of the AP22913, a 2A single-channel, slew-rate-controlled load switch with true reverse current blocking for high-side load-switching applications.

AnalogicTech's AAT4614 is a current limited P-channel mosfet power switch for high side load switching applications. Designed to protect peripheral ports from short circuit and over voltage events, ...

Packaging can increase power density to allow more features to be integrated into ever-smaller products, says Aleksandras Kaknevicius at at Texas Instruments. From smartphones to cars, consumers are ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...

NOJA Power has introduced its VISI-SWITCH LBS15-16-800 for three-phase electricity distribution grid feeder manual isolation. The load break switch overcomes the drawbacks of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6 ...
