This article presents the reverse polarity protection for DC/DC converters. It describes the series diode protection, as well as the shunt diode, and P-FET polarity protection circuits. This article ...

This application note is a continuation on Fairchild’s 2-part series note on protecting devices against reverse polarity. This part introduces the remaining five (5) methods or ways on reverse ...

When I inspect houses where an amateur has been doing electrical work, there's a good chance that I'll find outlets with reversed polarity. This happens when the hot and neutral wires get flipped ...

Fairchild Semiconductor offers a new line of low-power, application-specific, reverse polarity protection switches which also feature optional over-voltage transient protection. Fairchild ...

As they took him away, Clyde realized that leaving out that protection FET to save $0.35 had been a poor design decision. (Courtesy of Autoevolution) Electronics and automobiles have a long history ...

[Big Clive] picked up a keychain battery to charge his phone and found out that it was no bargain. Due to a wiring mistake, the unit was wired backward, delivering -5 V instead of 5 V. The good news ...
