The IRFP460 MOSFET is an N-channel MOSFET. It is rated for a drain-source breakdown voltage of 500V and a continuous drain current of 20A. This MOSFET is a third-generation device designed with fast switching and low on-resistance in mind. Specifically, it has a maximum drain-source on-state resistance of 0.27 Ohms. Basically this IRFP460 MOSFET is […]

TPS24710/11/12/13 Hot-Swap Controller Circuit Explained
When we talk about hot-swap controllers, it is basically an electronic device or integrated circuit (IC) that allows you to the insert or/and remove circuit boards, modules or parts within an active system without having you to switch off the system. It regulates the surge current whenever a component is installed and protects from short […]
Step-Down Adjustable Voltage, Current Regulator Circuit using LM2673
The LM2673 series of regulators is a collection of monolithic integrated circuits that are designed to provide all the active functions needed for making a step-down, or buck converter, switching regulator circuit. This means that they are capable of driving loads of up to 3 amps while maintaining excellent line and load regulation characteristics. One […]
