Mechanical switches can be noisy, generating multiple transient pulses that may cause faulty operation of fast digital circuits. In this design, a pair of MOSFETs are ...

Supercapacitors used in a series are gaining prominence as energy storage devices for a number of applications because of their versatility, utility, and durability. This technology is a relative new ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and reliability. Though often overshadowed by newer protection schemes, the crowbar ...

After discussing the three transistor high-side buck p-mosfet driver (a recognised circuit and not mine) with some of EW’s sage commenters, I wondered once again if I could design something similar ...
