MILPITAS, CA – April 21, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4361, a 2.5V to 5.5V overvoltage and overcurrent protection controller 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 the power input of the device. The wrong power adapter can also inadvertently be plugged into a device, potentially causing damage from overvoltage or negative supply voltage. The LTC4361 utilizes a 2% accurate 5.8V overvoltage threshold to detect an overvoltage event and responds quickly within 1µs (max) to … Read More → "Overvoltage/Overcurrent Protection Controller Safeguards Sensitive Low Voltage Electronics from Input Power Surges"
