Control applications often requirethat you set a relay latch in positionuntil you need it to change state.Latching relays accomplish that task.When you send them a pulse, they eitherremain in the ...

Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

In this Design Idea, we look at how electromechanical relays display hysteresis behavior that is surprisingly similar to the solid-state Schmitt trigger circuits, and how they can be used for many ...
