Available from multiple sources, the UC384X family of current-mode, PWM (pulse-width-modulated) power-supply controllers offers good performance and has spawned a variety of similar ICs. All members ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

Most dc-dc converters require a soft-start circuit to limit the in-rush current at startup. Although a smooth soft start is required for systems with power-on reset (POR), this is difficult to ...

This simple 12 volt halogen lamp soft starter circuit extends the life of the halogen lamps by eliminating the sharp rise in the temperature of the filament; when the filament in cold it has a very ...
