MILPITAS, CA – June 22, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4362, a 2.5V to 5.5V overvoltage and overcurrent protector designed to safeguard low voltage, portable electronics from damaging input voltage transients and current surges. Overvoltage events can occur due to power adapter failure or faults, or when hot-plugging an AC adapter into a device’s power input. Inadvertently plugging the wrong power adapter into a device can potentially cause damage from overvoltage or negative supply voltage. The LTC4362 utilizes a 2% accurate 5.8V overvoltage threshold to detect an overvoltage event and responds quickly within 1& … Read More → "1.2A Overvoltage/Overcurrent Protector Isolates Sensitive Low Voltage Electronics from Input Power Surges"
