Many power-supply designers like to have a regulator latch off in the event of an overcurrent situation or other fault condition. Yet, many PWM controllers do not internally support this latch-off ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

In the previous installment, we talked about why flip flops are such an important part of digital design. We also looked at some latch circuits. This time, I want to look at some actual flip ...
