MOSFET Overload Protection Design Made Easy
The Problem: MOSFET Overload and Burnout When a MOSFET handles more current than it’s rated for, it heats up rapidly and can fail catastrophically. This is a common issue in motor drivers, power supplies, and battery chargers—especially when there’s no built-in overload protection. For hobbyists and prototypers, this often results in damaged components …
SMPS Overload Protection Design for Electronics Hobbyists
When designing power supply circuits, especially Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), one common issue is overload protection. If the load draws more current than the SMPS can handle, it could cause overheating or even failure of components. The good news? Overload protection is easy to implement and can prevent such problems. The Problem & Solution …
