The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

Ricoh has launched a versatile load switch embedded in an ultra-small wafer level chip scaled package and is able to switch currents up to 6 A. The R5542 is positioned in between the battery or other ...

The AP22802 single channel load switch from Diodes Inc. ensures complete protection for interconnects subject to the risk of surges and short circuits. Optimized for regular USB and other hot-swap ...

The newly cloud-connected Leviton Load Center features intelligent circuit breakers that you can control or monitor from your phone. Originally hailing from Troy, Ohio, Ry Crist is a writer, a ...

Most rechargeable battery-powered systems include a switch that connects the load either to the battery or to a source of charging power. This switch allows a system with a depleted battery to operate ...
