Foldback Current Limited High Voltage Regulator
The high voltage regulator circuit is designed to maintain a stable output voltage while protecting against overcurrent conditions through its foldback current limiting feature. The LM10 comparator is a key component in this configuration, providing precise voltage comparison to ensure the output remains within specified limits.
In this circuit, the LM10 comparator operates by comparing the output voltage to a reference voltage. When the output voltage exceeds the desired level, the comparator triggers a response that adjusts the output to maintain regulation. The foldback current limiting feature is particularly important in protecting the circuit from excessive current draw. Under overload conditions, this mechanism reduces the output current to a safe level by decreasing the output voltage, thereby preventing damage to the regulator and connected load.
The voltage reference used in conjunction with the LM10 ensures that the comparator operates accurately and consistently, providing a reliable reference point for voltage regulation. This combination allows for a robust design that can handle varying load conditions while ensuring stability and safety.
Overall, this high voltage regulator circuit is suitable for applications requiring precise voltage control with built-in protection against overcurrent scenarios, making it an essential component in various electronic systems.This circuit is high voltage regulator which has foldback current limiter protection. This circuit uses LM10 comparator with voltage reference, and this core. 🔗 External reference
