- Automotive low side output switch architecture suitable for 8 to 48 volt buses and beyondA novel switch architecture caters to extended battery range coupled with robust protection and diagnostic strategies. For automotive control units, the smart output switches operating contactor coils, lamps,...Aug 17, 2026
- Add Short-Circuit Protection, Diagnostics To Automotive High-Side/Low-Side DriverSmart switches for automotive applications are costly, may not be readily available for 24-V operation, and often come in unneeded dual and quad configurations. By adding a few standard, low-cost components to a basic...Oct 1, 2013
- Simple Transistor Switch Detects Thermocouple Fault ConditionsVishwas Vaidya Thermocouples and their leads often have to detect open-circuit or short-circuit faults. However, it is very difficult to distinguish a valid millivolt temperature signal from an open/short-circuited...Mar 14, 2013
- Simple Current Limiter Protects Open-Collector CircuitOpen-collector outputs are useful for transmitting buffered digital/pulse signals to the external world when high drive is needed. In harsh operating environments like automotive systems, however, these signals need to...Nov 10, 2010
