This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...
Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...
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 ...
