It’s a problem that’s been around for as long as there have been battery-powered systems: you load the battery the wrong way, with the poles inverted, and create a reverse-polarity event. The system ...
DC/DC converters are not protected against reverse polarity connection. Swapping the VIN+ and VIN- terminals will almost certainly cause immediate failure, so care must be taken to ensure that any ...
Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Ideal diodes and ORing controllers offer space-saving, scalable solutions to protect a system against reverse voltage or reverse current. They reduce the energy lost ...
A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...
