The widely varying voltage of the 12V automotive board net can present a challenge for automotive electronic application design engineers. With DC voltages ranging from 3.5 to 28V (and for transients ...

Traditional synchronous boost converters offer little to no protection against short-circuit events at the output. Due to the boost converter’s topology, when the output is shorted to ground, a direct ...
