This application note tackles on how to protect analog output circuits and why they should be protected. As one of the necessary components in the system’s performance, analog output circuits should ...

Abstract: Analog outputs drive motors and actuators in factories and plants. They are the final control step in process logic controllers (PLC). The output amplifiers typically drive 0 to 10V and 4 to ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

Linear vs. switching surge stoppers. An input protection circuit featuring an LTC4380. Protection circuit design using a switching surge stopper. Reliable industrial electronics often have protection ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...
