In the power supply application, to ensure the stability and the safety of the power supply, peripheral protection circuits are often designed to ensure that the power supply is not damaged during use. Peripheral circuits include surge protection circuit, electrostatic protection circuit, EMI filter circuit, and pulse group anti-interference circuit. This paper will discuss the use and selection methods of MOV applied in surge protection circuits. Ⅰ. What are Metal Oxide Varistors? MOV stands for Metal Oxide Varistors, a voltage-limiting protection device with nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics. It is a matrix structure composed of zinc oxide particles. The grain boundaries between the particles have electrical characteristics similar to bidirectional PN junctions. Application of MOV: MOV is often used in parallel with the protection device to clamp the voltage when the circuit is subjected to overvoltage, absorbing excessive current to protect the subsequent circuit. Main charac

An important point to consider when choosing a power module is whether to use an isolated or non-isolated power solution. Before proceeding with the discussion, let us first understand the concept of isolated power supply and the main characteristics of isolated and non-isolated power. What is the isolated power supply? The isolated power supply is defined conceptually as the conversion of the voltage through a transformer to realize the isolation between input and output. Then, what are the isolation features? For example, safety isolation, common-mode noise isolation, ground loop elimination, or for occasions with floating ground requirements, are its key features. In addition to isolation, voltage conversion is also one of the important characteristics of power supply, including AC to DC, DC to AC, conversion between high and low voltage, and so on. What is more, with some peripheral devices, it can also stabilize the voltage, so as to protect and filter noise. What are the adva

As a primary power supply of the user system, AC/DC converter is the cornerstone to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the system. When choosing medium and high power AC/DC, most users prefer to use the mature conventional power supply and often take the cost as the main factor. Medium and high power AC/DC should not only consider the cost but also include thermal design, safety regulations, dimensions, reliability. While MORNSUN ultra-compact AC/DC power supply LOF series balance the above contradictions very well. 1.7W/cm3 power density Our new ultra-compact LOF Series makes them very suitable for applications with space limitation, such as LOF225: 4"×2"×1" (1.7W/cm3), LOF120: 3"×2"×1.2" (1W/cm3), LOF350: 5 "×3"×1" (1.4W/cm3). It can be installed easily with the JST connector. Excellent performance for integration, efficiency and thermal design. Based on our latest circuit topology and adopting digital control, the LOF serie

The flyback converter in the switching power supply is the most common AC/DC power supply. With the development of integrated circuit technology, most of the circuits in the flyback converter are integrated into the IC, and there are few peripheral components. That makes it possible to build a power supply that has general functions with just adding a suitable transformer. It’s simple but not optimized for personalized and differentiated needs, engineers are always puzzled to balance the design cycle, cost, reliability, ease of use, dimensions, performance, and personalization of power supply. And now, MORNSUN's newest AC/DC Converter "LS-R3" series can resolve this puzzlement. Save Cost from Multi-dimension The cost of the power supply section accounts for a large proportion of the cost of electronic devices, forcing many customers to use discrete solutions to reduce costs. But discrete solutions can only reduce raw material cost, there’re still multiple types of cost
