‘Thermal Shutdown’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Self-protected MOSFETs for automotive applications from Diodes Incorporated, which we summarised at the time by saying "Suiting automotive and industrial applications, Diodes Incorporated's new self-protected MOSFETs are suitable for switching inductive loads, such as motors, relays and lamps at low frequencies. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Low-power network platform for harsh environments from Axiomtek: "Axiomtek has announced the NA-320FL, a fanless 1U compact network appliance platform with 6GB LANs that supports the low-power Intel Atom processors D510 1.66GHz with Intel ICH8M PCH chipset.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Linear Technology - take a look at Compact linear regulator with thermal resistance which says: "Linear Technology has produced a wider-temperature-range version of the LT3010, a high-voltage, micropower linear regulator for avionics, military, industrial, automotive, RF and telecom applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Rogers, Rugged flame-retardent laminates for military PCBs, as well as Sensor IC withstands harsh automotive environments from Allegro Microsystems, and Globtek offers desktop-style power supplies from Globtek.
