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 ...

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...

It’s a problem that’s been around for as long as there have been battery-powered systems: you load the battery the wrong way, with the poles inverted, and create a reverse-polarity event. The system ...

YouTube presented me with a video* about a reverse polarity protection IC, On Semi’s NCV68261, which can also be an ideal diode and a load controller. And, being partial to a nice ideal diode, I ...
