Method 6: Schottky to Ground
The Schottky to Ground method is nearly identical to the Diode to Ground method described above. It requires that the…
It’s a problem that’s been around for as long as there have been battery-powered systems: you load the battery the wrong way, with the poles inverted,…
There are lots of ways to protect against the damaging effects of reverse polarity, but some are better than others. In a system operating with curren…
Low-current systems — that is, systems that operate on currents under 100 mA or 200 mA — cover a wide range of applications, from security systems a…
Nobody wants their system to fail or, worse yet, burst into flames. But that’s what can happen if reverse polarity is allowed to do its damage.
