Active Clamping Circuit Protects PA Under Extreme Operating Conditions While Reducing Board Space ANADIGICS, Inc., a supplier of wireless and broadband solutions, has been granted patent 6,580,321 for ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Some amplifier applications require clamping or limiting due to large, sporadic signals appearing at the amplifier input. Clamping these errant signals protects the amplifier and other sensitive ...

Even if small, a transformer’s leakage inductance reduces the efficiency of some isolated dc-dc converter topologies. However, the technique of lossless voltage clamping helps restore most of the lost ...

The remote transducer protector (RTP) 3034 uses a hybrid, 3-stage clamping circuit to protect sensitive transducers from transient currents with minimal added loop resistance. The device provides ...

The latest trends in electric vehicle and industrial power systems demand higher voltage operation and greater efficiency, but also greater safety of power system devices, write Vikneswaran ...
