Current-Limit Switch Is Digitally Programmable


Posted on Oct 6, 2012

Current-limit switches are virtually ubiquitous in system controls. They provide a safe means for regulating the current delivered to a load circuit. The switches allow the load current to increase to a programmed limit but no higher. This application note illustrates the implementation of a digitally programmable current-limit switch using MAX890L a current-limited, high-side P-channel switch and MAX5160 digital potentiometer
