Delays in short-circuit protection triggers require careful selection of the magnetics and overcurrent threshold values to prevent component stress.

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

Power Integrations launches gate drivers for 62 mm SiC and IGBT modules with fast short-circuit protection, rated for 1200 V and 1700 V applications.
