Applications

USB-C PD EPR 240W

Power up Type-C EPR 240W designs with robust protection: eFuse for OCP/OVP & hot swap, ideal diode for seamless reverse blocking & power mux, and TVS for fast surge suppression.

5–100V ideal diode with zero-loss switching, reverse current blocking, reverse polarity protection & OVP.

Smart battery protection: eFuse for OCP/OVP & hot swap, ideal diode for reverse blocking & path control, TVS for fast surge suppression.

24V eFuse plus ultra-low clamp TVS. The 60V surge-capable eFuse with OCP, OVP, and reverse blocking ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
