  • High-Speed Switching Apparatus for Electromagnetic Coils
    Publication number: 20240113511
    Abstract: A protection circuit senses when one supply circuit in a group is activating to deliver current to a circuit component and issues firing signals to simultaneously activate other supply circuits in the group. The supply circuits may deliver large currents and high power. The protection circuit may prevent damage to a system that might otherwise occur if one supply circuit in the group activates in isolation.
