Ethernet is one of the most commonly used communication protocols, and as a result, it has increased the exposure of devices to overvoltage events. The two most common causes of overvoltage events are ...

This year, I had an opportunity to talk with members of the IEEE Student Chapter at Stanford University about some of the exciting things we've been doing at Littelfuse, particularly the IndyCar ...

An overload or short circuit in a fuse or mini circuit breaker can lead to undersupply or failure of an entire 24-V dc power-supply system. Selectivity protection using an electronic fuse offers a ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

If a motor isn't adequately protected, a short circuit will likely result in premature replacement. Then there's the problem of nuisance tripping upon initial start-up because the magnetic setting of ...
