Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

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 ...

This is a guest article by Adrian Mikolajczak of Fairchild Semiconductor. Reverse polarity, which is the result of a steady-state reverse bias or a negative transient, can cause serious problems in an ...

Different reverse-polarity solutions and their effectiveness at providing car battery front-end protection. How a smart diode controller can provide optimal reverse-battery protection. If the battery ...

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 ...
