Fairchild Semiconductor's Circuit Protection Initiative Helps Designers Simplify System Design While Improving Safety and Reliability
As consumers become more dependent on their electronic devices and manufacturers continue to increase the functionality of their end-application, there is an inherent risk that a simple error, such as incorrectly plugging in the device or a common electrical event, like electrostatic discharge or lightning, will result in a system failure. This in turn can lead to product returns, lawsuits, expensive recalls, lost revenues, decreased personal pro...
