Single-coil latching relays, whose applications include signal routing, audio, and automotive systems, can pose a design challenge because coil current must flow in both directions through a single ...

Sometimes, the most unexpected detours lead to the most interesting discoveries. After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be ...

A recent application required the microcontroller to be able to switch some high-reliability latching relays as a safety backup for normal solid-state switching. A recent application required the ...

A LIN pre-driver IC for relay DC motors from Melexis includes 48 KB of memory (16 KB ROM for the included LIN protocol and 32 KB Flash for the application software. The MLX81160 is the latest addition ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...
