Digital Isolation and Termination

This is a digital isolation and termination circuit. This circuit uses The CLT3-4 that is a digital termination device with quadruple input. The CLT3-4 is designed for 24 V DC automation applications. The CLT3-4 drives an isolating opto-coupler and gives the front-end circuitry of a digital input module (I/O) in industrial automation. Here is the circuit: This circuit has a […]

Window Detector for Under-/Over- Voltage Detection

This is a Window Detector circuit. This circuit is used to detect over-voltage or under-voltage. This circuit uses the MAX933 and additional components like resistors. The over-voltage threshold of this circuit is 5.5V and the under-voltage threshold is 4.5V if we use the component values shown. We can choose different threshold by changing the values of R3, R2 and R1. […]

Auto Retry for MAX1637 Step-Down Controller

On telecom applications, the MAX1637 is a popular device. This device offer a lot of advantages such as PWM operation, small size, high MOSFET-drive capability, wide VIN and VOUT ranges, and excellent protection against over- and under-voltage faults. An auto-retry controller that attempts to restart the system is often needed in telecom application. Here’s the circuit diagram: Undervoltage is related […]

Power-Fail and Low-Line Signals

This is a circuit of Power-Fail and Low-Line Signals. This circuit is used to warn the processor when the power failure or a brownout is occurs. The processor will enter a power-down routine, when either of those signals interrupts the processor. Back up important data prior to the POR placing the processor in reset and cease its current  activities are […]

Overload Protector for Batteries and Power Supplies

This circuit is used to prevent the damaging effects of a reversed-polarity battery or short-circuit load. It is used to replace the simple fuse that usually used for overcurrent protection because the fuse has long reaction time and high resistance. This circuit consist of dual comparator, a combination of current amplifier, and external CMOS. A logic-controlled switch can provide low […]
