Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

For most industrial applications, engineers need a high-side switch to control inductive loads. The challenge is how to discharge the energy in the inductor when the switch opens and current flow ...

Increased electrification in vehicles is changing the way driver assistance systems are designed, says Yang Wang, with high-side switches increasingly used for resistive, capacitive and inductive ...

Though sometimes dubbed a load-dump sensor, it does not detect dumped loads. The term load dump refers to special circuitry protecting the sensor from high-voltage spikes in the vehicle wiring. The ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

Power is an important aspect of any design, but distributing it safely and efficiently throughout your circuit boards and subassemblies can be challenging. To distribute voltage to the power-supply ...
