A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...

• Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications usually do not call out accuracy, but rather linearity, repeatability, and hysteresis. • Accuracy ...

Equipment Manufacturers and consumers are now very conscious of energy conservation, particularly for standby power, also called vampire power, or phantom power. It is the electricity consumed by ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

Although we do our best to shield our portable devices from physical harm by using protective cases, or employing rugged design techniques, there is another layer of protection that can be applied.
