  1. Hot-swap controller handles dual polarity
    Some 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...

  2. Short circuit tracer/finder uses low power
    This 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,...

  3. Two wires control SPI high-speed ADC
    Most 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)...

  4. Simple SSR has zero-cross on/off switching
    This 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...
