Question derating MLCC ripple current for transient current spikes
This graph - MLCC temperature rise vs ripple current RMS & frequency Imagealttext If I had a 10 us current spike every 100 000 us (akin to a half-sine wave and then the rest of 9999 sine waves missing), how much higher can i go in current ripple RMS value for the 20 deg. C max temp rise ?

Question Power switches and automotive load dump, unclamped
Power switches used in automotive are usually rated to withstand clamped load dump events, of the 35 - 40 V peak variety. AFAICT there are two main clamping mechanisms - first one for the logic part and second one for the MOSFET DS channel within. These power switches will generally (re)open the DS c...

Comment Post #289209 And among the dozen features the second circuit has there is also "Circuit breaker function for severe overcurrent events". I was wondering if I could use two back to back mosfets instead of only one and still have this feature functional. Seems reasonable to me that I could, but I am not so advanced...

Question Two way circuit breaking capability for ideal diode controllers
I would like to save some costs with ideal diode controllers. Basic requirement is for the diode controller to block overcurrents (short circuits) in both directions. The MAX16141A IC can do it and the datasheet openly discusses it, i.e with two back to back MOSFETs and a sense resistor Thie ...

Question Floating circuitry and diodes
In both cases, is the "X" point floating when there is no 12V applied ?

Question Variant of a Mosfet's Gate-Source protection
Let's say a 100V voltage spike arrives at +12V and the TVS diode clamps it to 25V. Q2 may or may not be activated. Will this circuit ensure a Vgs lower than 25V for the mosfet Q1 ? Any catch to it ? Imagealttext Thanks

Comment Post #288163 @Lundin I shall add some caps, thank you. Do the resistor values still matter if B, T signal frequencies are in the sub-Hz range ?

Comment Post #288183 > Be ESD aware and do not power up with any voltage on any pins > 0.5V (Latchup failure) Not sure what to make of it. How would one test a circuit without applying power to any pins ?

Comment Post #288163 @#8176 This is meant to be used on a 12V vehicle. TVS diodes for a bit of protection, gate is pulled down by design. Which voltages aside from the ones in main question ?

Question what should the output be for this use case of the CD4047 chip?
Hello, I am trying to use a `CD4047` in monostable, positive-edge trigger mode: Image alt text Image alt text I am not skilled enough to make out what the output, i.e. pin 10, should be when pin 8, the input, is held at 0V (0.1V for some reason). Would expect it to be 0V, I am getting Vdd in...

Question MOSFET protection with TVS: at the source pin or at the drain pin
In the auotmotive context, does it matter where the fat load-dump grade diode is placed in relation to the MOSFET so as to protect it from both fast positive transients and the longer load dump ? Thank you
