Design OVP circuitry for safe USB charging
EETASIA.com — While the infrastructure for plugging portable devices into the USB for datacom-with-power applications is fairly universal today, using the USB as a power source for direct powering or charging a battery isn’t necessarily foolproof. You’ll generally need over-voltage protection (OVP) circuitry; here’s what to consider in designing your discrete or IC-based circuit.
