June 6, 2017, Escondido California, U.S.A., SimpleChips Technologies Inc. today announced sample availability of a new direct-coupled high-voltage current limiter chip, the 17SCT002. When the ENABLE signal is asserted, the high-voltage (HV) terminal will sink an ~8mA current that is limited above a knee voltage and independent of the high voltage applied. Upon deassertion of the ENABLE signal, the 17CT002 presents a high resistance to the HV terminal.
