A project with only 2 parts, but is great for addressing an everyday situation that is irritating at best and dangerous at worst. This circuit protects the bulb in flashlights (FL) from high switch-on ...

This simple 12 volt halogen lamp soft starter circuit extends the life of the halogen lamps by eliminating the sharp rise in the temperature of the filament; when the filament in cold it has a very ...

Most dc-dc converters require a soft-start circuit to limit the in-rush current at startup. Although a smooth soft start is required for systems with power-on reset (POR), this is difficult to ...

A soft compiler is a web-based tool that accepts a user-defined robot behavior as a truth table to generate a mathematically optimized circuit diagram that guides the assembly of a soft fluidic ...

Abstract: Aiming at the problem that LLC resonant converter in photovoltaic power generation system generates overshoot current during startup , this paper proposes an improved soft-start control ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new digital load-dependent soft-start method of dc-dc converter for energy management system. The soft-start operation is used to prevent negative effects for a power ...

This article addresses a characteristic found in many battery-powered products. When power to a circuit is first applied, high peak currents are encountered during the time taken to establish stable ...
