Teridian Semiconductor, a US-based semiconductor company that designs and develops analog and mixed-signal ICs, listing THINKING polymer PTC resettable fuse as recommended components in demo board user manual of its IC design product, 73M2901CE.
73M2901CE is a single chip low speed modem that includes all the modem functions, and its programmable configuration options make it highly adaptable to a variety of applications, including satellite set-top box, point-of-sale terminal, automatic teller machine, remote monitoring device, metering device, vending machines, and smart card reader.
Over-current protection is required for a reliable design that will survive in the severe conditions occurred by short circuit or voltage cross to power mains. Fuses as over-current protection components prevent the design from failing caused by those conditions. Comparing with one-time fuse, resettable fuse is able to reset itself after short circuit and does not need to have replacement fuses. Therefore, in 73M2901CE demo board user manual, KRT600 (600 V, 150mA) and KRT250 (250 V, 120mA) of KRT series are recommended components for over-current protection. This UL, cUL, and TUV recognized series passes 6kV test and is compliant with UL60950 and EN-60950, meeting Teridian customers’ needs of isolation voltage and agency approvals.
