There’s some lovely circuits in here – just nothing I’m looking for. Maybe what I want is too esoteric…
You know those things called USB? Did you know they aren’t supposed to draw more than about 100mA, before requesting it from the controller? Well, I interpreted that as: voltage sources, that would remain disabled until they received an enable signal. Compared to Apple iPhone chargers, which simply send buckets of amps down an adaptor cable (with a USB connector on one end).
Maybe, when the 100W USB standard is finalised, this toppic will be revisited.
This app note came out before USB!
Gotta love LT. Even their font is awesome!
