How to replace MOSFETs with load switches, and the impact of on-resistance. Swapping out diodes with ideal diodes, and the use of ideal-diode controllers. Why replacing fuses and resettable fuses with ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.

A load switch is an electronic switch. It works like a relay to power supply rails in systems, but it has no moving parts. Load switches are increasingly found in today’s portable electronic devices, ...
