Editor's note: I am pleased to bring you an excellent RAQ by Yao Zhao, a product application engineer with the China design center in ADI Beijing. RTD (resistance temperature detectors) can provide ...

At one time, the National Electrical Code (NEC) contained two Articles you won’t find as of the 2020 revision: Art. 280 (surge arrestors) and Art. 285 (transient voltage surge suppressors or TVSS).

To ensure reliability and safety for devices that run on ac and dc power lines, circuit protection is a definite design requirement. Unfortunately, there’s no universal protection solution. Varying ...

The circuit diagram shows the over voltage protection as a feature of LM317 linear voltage regulator. The circuit diagram shows the over voltage protection as a feature of LM317 linear voltage ...

Although microcontrollers generally run at low voltages, such as 3.3 V, they often need to control loads running at higher voltages like 12 V. If switching the low side isn’t an option, the ...

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for overvoltage protection can be found in Art. 242. This Article is new with the 2020 NEC, and it replaces Art. 280 and Art. 285. Those Articles ...
