- Hot-swap controller handles dual polaritySome applications require a hot-swap controller, a circuit-breaker function, or both for dual-polarity, dc-input power-supply rails. In some hot-swap cases, the requirement is based only on inrush-current...Oct 15, 2025
- Short circuit tracer/finder uses low powerThis Design Idea presents a low power short circuit finder that capitalizes on the ear’s sensitivity to changes in frequency. The heart of the circuit is a voltage-to-frequency converter (based on Ref. 1,...Mar 23, 2021
- Two wires control SPI high-speed ADCMost current microprocessors, DSPs, and field-programmable gate arrays integrate hardware and software resources that support either or both of two common interface standards – SPI (serial-peripheral interface)...Feb 22, 2018
- Simple SSR has zero-cross on/off switchingThis Design Idea is a solid state relay (SSR) which uses a triac to switch AC loads at high current. There are plenty of simple SSR circuits available, but this may be the simplest circuit that achieves turn-on and...Nov 23, 2015
