Littlefuse Provides Reference Designs for Circuit Designers
New website launch provides additional functionality for users
Sean Snyder, Associate Editor -- Design News, February 7, 2008
Littlefuse Inc. has redesigned its website with a new focus on providing users with an easier navigation as well as a new section called the Application Design Center where users can access reference designs when implementing circuit protection into circuit designs.
“All these designs we have up here are designs we’ve taken from our experience with industry-leading companies,” says Tom Hovey, e marketing manager for Littlefuse Inc. “You could be a small telecom guy in California or Idaho or somewhere, but you know what, you could get exactly what the big guys are using here and kind of get an idea for the type of products we recommend for them.”
The new site also provides users with data sheets, electrical characteristics, environmental data and ICP test reports. The site points out potential problems with designing circuit protection into circuits, as well as what users might do or shouldn’t do.
“A lot of times, the customers wish they had better online access to application information on how to apply circuit protection products,” says Hovey.
The Application Design Center also provides a service for checking distributors’ inventories, ordering samples and the ability to cross reference Littlefuse part numbers with part numbers of competing manufacturers.
Users can search the site by navigating different options, including by product, part and specific function, in order to narrow down their results. The site also features upgraded keyword-search capabilities.
