Circuit proposal of a latching current limiter for space applications based on a SiC N-MOSFET

Latching Current Limiters (LCLs) provide individual over-current protection to payloads protecting the satellite power bus. Under an overload, they limit the maximum current for a certain time. After this time, if the failure persists, the LCL isolate it from the power bus. The keystone of the LCLs...
