Online tips for application-specific circuit protection

Circuit protection is seldom top-of-mind for when designing consumer electronic applications, but of course it’s one of the gotchas that can bring your circuit to a screaming/whimpering halt. Littlefuse has put together a circuit protection Design Cneter that does a good job of addressing circuit protection issues through the lense of an application: Certainly, the circuit protection regulations and devices for an LCD screen are quite different than those of a cell phone.

A nice feature of the site is that you can find suggested best-practice circuit protection approaches simply by selecting the relevant application and then identifying the circuit you need to protect.

The site is a good overview of circuit protection and not just a how-to for Littlefuse products. See for yourself at: www.littlefuse.com.
