This Design Idea presents a simple, proven, reliable, and robust method for charging large capacitor banks, using a series connection of power MOSFETs to raise the breakdown voltage over that of an ...

These MOSFETs have unique electrical characteristics for active continuous leakage current regulation and self-balancing of stacked series-connected supercaps.

It's vital that MOSFET power-switch drivers be protected from a reverse-battery connection. A small rectifier diode can shield against reversed batteries. But that approach is generally ...

Sensitive systems, such as those in aircraft, must withstand fault conditions, thereby avoiding component and system damage, because a sensor failure could cause a catastrophic event to occur. A ...

Dual 12V mosfet is drain-connected for battery packs Toshiba is aiming at battery pack protection with a 12V 20A common-drain dual n-channel mosfet. The new part is SSM14N956L and “uses Toshiba’s ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are increasingly used in high-power applications owing to their superior switching speeds, low on‐resistance and enhanced thermal performance. In order to achieve ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched four 650V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, equipped with its latest [1] 3rd generation SiC MOSFET chips and housed in a ...
