Most modern power-supply control ICs offer built-in overcurrent or short-circuit protection. While some overcurrent-protection schemes are latching, others are nonlatching. When the overcurrent trip ...

The thyristor or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) provides a convenient latching mechanism for switching power to a load. However, once the thyristor is triggered into conduction, it supplies no ...

Omron Electronic Components has added to its range of latching power relays with devices that have interfaces for electric vehicle (EV) charge stations, PV inverters and lighting control. Omron ...

This application note provides a practical guideline of TRIAC dimmable LED bulb board design. Passive and active bleeder design guides detail how to maintain latching and holding current without ...

LED driver designs can deliver flicker-free and fast startup dimming performance while still providing high power factor and efficiency, writes Rich Miron Dimming performance of LED lamps in legacy ...
