Designed specifically for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, NXP’s latest NextPower Live MOSFET family provides twice the level of inrush current capability of existing MOSFETs. Designed ...

Although electromechanical relays have historically been the primary load switch in most applications, MOSFETs have been encroaching on the relay's territory in recent years as technology advances ...

Mission critical servers and communications equipment must continue to operate, even as circuit boards and cards are plugged-in or pulled-out for maintenance and capacity adjustment. Hot swap ...

In the development of different technologies, many engineers encounter and have to deal with inrush currents to their devices. The reality of inrush current and the meaning of an I2t measurement will ...

Inrush currents associated with motor starting and transformer energizing can cause interaction problems with other loads in a facility or on the power system. These inrush currents can cause sags ...

Using power switches can be complex or even confusing for most electronic designers, especially for those who are not power management experts. In a broad range of applications such as portable ...

Many large telecom and datacom systems use multiple PCBs (printed-circuit boards) or blades that plug into a common backplane within a subrack enclosure. The backplane supplies the power—for example, ...

While consuming less electricity than their older, less efficient counterparts, high-efficiency motors are much more likely to trip their respective circuit protectors when they start. Initial ...

Inrush current effect is common in electric motors. Sometimes, in case of ill-designed electrical wiring systems, switching on the motor may activate the fuse. It is caused by the inrush current – ...
