Low error platinum RTD circuit has shutdown capability - 09/14/00 EDN-Design Ideas:.....(design idea added 11/05) 
Method offers Fail Safe Variable Reluctance Sensors - 11/22/01 EDN-Design Ideas: Variable-reluctance sensors are preferred for industrial and automotive environments, because they sustain mechanical vibration and operation to 300 C. In most applications, they sense a steel target that is part of a rotating assembly. Because.....(design idea added 1/05)

 

Method Provides Automatic Machine Shutdown  - 05/27/04 EDN-Design Ideas: (design idea added 6/07)
Method provides overpower protection for quasiresonant supplies - 10/28/04 EDN-Design Ideas: The main characteristic of quasiresonant switch-mode power supplies is that they exhibit a varying frequency when the input voltage changes. For a flyback power supply, the power delivered to the output obeys the following equation: POUT=1/2(LP×IP 2×FSWη), where LP is the primary inductance, IP is the peak primary current, FSW is the switching frequency, and η is the e.....(design idea added 11/04)
MicroController protects DC motor - 02/17/05 EDN-Design Ideas: Although any overloaded dc motor can draw excessive current and sustain damage, a cooling fan's motor is particularly vulnerable due to fouling by dust, insects, or misplaced objects. A few fans include built-in overload protection, and others can use an external warning device, such as Microchip's TC670 fan-failure detector.....(design idea added 5/05)
Monitor & Protect Automotive Systems with Integrated Current Sensing - DN374  Design Notes (Linear Technology)  (app note added 1/06)
MOSFET Beats Murphy's Law - 12/22/94 EDN-Design Ideas: (design idea added 3/03)
Motor uses simple reverse battery protection - 03/18/04 EDN-Design Ideas: This Design Idea presents a low-side, reverse-battery-protection technique for a dc-motor system. The system in Figure 1 incorporates two protection options. The common practice of using a diode for reverse-battery protection does not work with dc motors' inductive loads. In Figure 1, an Allegro (www.....(design idea added 1/05)
New 8051SBC - Brown-out protection, WDT, 20x4 LCD BUS interface. Simple scope using Nokia 3310 LCD.  ….(electronic schematic added 06/09)
Open collector output provides fail safe operation  - 09/04/03 EDN-Design Ideas: It is common practice to use digital open-collector outputs for control units in industrial applications. Using these outputs, you can switch loads, such as relays, lamps, solenoids, and heaters. One possible problem inherent to this type of output stage is a short circuit from the output to the supply voltage (often, 24V).....(design idea added 1/05)
Output Power Limiter - Just the thing if you want to limit amplifier power to something "sensible"  (circuit added 6/07)
Over Voltage Protection - Safety devices like fuses provide protection against excess current, but do nothing for transients and short duration spikes of high voltahe on the power supply lines.This circuit uses the "crowbar" method and provides fast protection against transient voltage spikes...  (circuit design added 07/07/07)
Over Voltage Protection for the ADG5XXA Multiplexer Series - AN-249 Analog Devices Application Notes  (app note added 6/06)
Over Voltage Protection on AC Adapter Input AN-31 - Application Note 31 from Microsem  (app note added 6/06)
Over-/Under-Voltage Protection of Electrical Appliances - (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)
Overload & Reverse Current Circuitry Protects Battery & Load - 03/01/96 EDN-Design Ideas: Battery-operated equipment is prone to the consequences of backward-installed batteries, accidental short circuits, and other careless use. The effects of a reversed battery are critical. Unfortunately, it's difficult to guard against a reversed battery. To make ,.....(design idea added 03/03/03)
OverVoltage Protection - describes crowbar technique that provides a useful defense for fast Over voltage spikes and transients that could cause damage to more sensitive components (added 5/02)
OverVoltage Protection for LM317 - This circuit is a modified version of an original interface on QSL Net. It is a fully isolated interface allowing computer control of the Trio/Kenwood R5000 receiver. Separate software is needed to control the receiver. (electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)
PIC Speaker Protection - This doesn't replace P33, but it is possibly the ultimate speaker protection.  (schematic added 6/07)
Polarity protector outperforms Schottky diodes - 02/06/03 EDN-Design Ideas: The polarity-protection circuit in Figure 1 is a high-performance alternative to the usual series diode (often Schottky). The circuit incurs a much lower voltage drop than even the best Schottky diode. The circuit uses MOSFET devices because of their low on-resistance. For the transistors in this design, the combined on-resistance is 0.....(design idea added 1/05)
Power line outage flashes red alert - 06/13/02 EDN-Design Ideas: This Design Idea expands on a circuit in a previous one to configure a power-outage detector with a flashing alarm (Figure 1, Reference 1). The circuit plugs into a mains outlet and uses trickle-charged nickel-cadmium batteries. The green-LED monitors.....(design idea added 10/03)
Power Supply interrupter fights ESD induced Device Latch Up - 02/05/04 EDN-Design Ideas: In low-noise analog circuits, a high-gain amplifier serves at the input to increase the SNR. The input signal level determines the input-stage gain; low-level signals require the highest gain. It is also standard practice in low-noise analog-signal processing to make the circuit's bandwidth....(added 10/05)
