“Because overcurrent and overvoltage protection are often viewed as two unrelated elements of the circuit protection design process, protection methods can result in costly, multi-component solutions, and synergies between protective devices can be overlooked,” said Williams. “By starting with a coordinated approach, designers can accelerate the development process and help make sure their equipment will meet regulatory agency requirements.”
Williams will outline specific solutions for a variety of applications, including circuit design, test results and requirements for meeting IEC 61000-4-5, UL 2231 and UL1449 standards. He will also discuss the benefits of resettable overcurrent protection in automotive, industrial, communications and consumer electronics applications.
