Current Limiting Circuits

To provide rapid motor speed changes and motor direction reversal, four outputs drive a MOSFET H-bridge. N-channel devices are the lower rail power MOSFETs and P-channels are the upper MOSFETs. All of them are driven by the TC4469. A small series resistor.... -
In order to eliminate noise, I`ve used a 100uF capacitor and a 100nF bypass capacitor across the supply and two 10nF capacitors in parallel with the resistors Rda and Rdb (those are 10K each), As for the current limiting, I`ve used a 22K resistor paralleled.... -
My product requires a voltage-controlled, current-limited power supply and for a number of years I have used various switcher chips with an op-amp to feed back a current sense voltage to the feedback pin. For the last couple of years I have been using an.... -
Assuming I can get 5V in example after adjusting the pot in real use, will the 240 ohm resistor limit the current, or do I have to add something else on top of that afterwards If it does (I can have var. voltage + current limit) I assume I will need to up.... -
Rsense would cause Q2 to conduct if at a threshold (0. 65V assumably) and Rbias will determine how much it will be limited, however that is unclear to me, especially if Rsense will be somewhere highside and just turning on Q2 with my uC seems to not do.... -
A useful current limiting circuit (shown below), that allows me to select a maximum current through a load. The circuit is set to give a 480 mA max current. As the load resistance increases, the SER of the limiting circuit drops away. The following plot.... -
Make a 0-25 mA current limiter. I want to take a control voltage of 0-5 V as input and have it control a current of 0-25 mA through a restive load (the restive load may vary between 0-200, it`s represented as R2 below). The O2 op-amp is used to make a.... -
The other transistor (T2) is controlled by the current flowing through the resistor (R1). If a DALI slave unit is connected, this current will be the same as that flowing through the power transistor. The value of the resistor is chosen in such a way that.... -
Designing a simple current limiter, which charges a large (4. 7mF) capacitor with a charge current of (roughly) 500mA from a supply voltage from about 10-20V - see the below circuit. My dilemma is that I already have a bunch of MMBT2222A and it would be nice.... -
As my first electronics-related entry, I would like to share a modification of the current limiter add-on by Ron J. The original circuit works as advertised, however I needed to disconnect the load immediately after the maximum current was reached, what I.... -
Through simple circuit modifications, designers can use peak current limiting to produce a constant current source.... -
This circuit is design for provide automatic current limiting up to 8. 4A. Unlike current limiter that uses only a resistor, this current limiting circuit doesn`t drop the voltage, or at least keep the voltage drop at minimum, until a certain current amount.... -
The PIC/Generation 1 electronics do not have any form of current limitting. They rely on the stepper motors resistance to keep the current below 2 Amps at 12 Volts. Unfortunatly the more commonly available Steppers of the size used in RepRap have much lower.... -
This current-limiting circuit, shown in this example as part of a small bench power supply, could in principle be used in conjunction with any dual-rail current source. The part of the circuit to the left of the diagram limits the current at the input to the.... -
This week I want to share a new favorite chip of mine, the LT1970 power op amp from Linear Technology. This nifty device runs from a 36 V supply and can source or sink 500 mA. That`s not too unusual, but how about programmable current limiting, outputs to.... -
LM117/LM317 National Semiconductor Corporation is a three-terminal adjustable positive voltage regulator ICs. LM117/LM317 output voltage range is 1. 2V to 37V, load current up to 1. 5A. It`s very simple to use, only two external resistors to set the output.... -
This is a 1-amp variable-voltage PSU. It adjusts from about 3v to 24v: and has the added feature that you can limit the maximum output current. This is invaluable when (for example) you power-up a project for the first time or soak-test a piece of equipment.... -
A constant-voltage active load can perform as a battery during the charge cycle. You can set the load voltage from 5 to 35V by using potentiometer PV and thus can simulate batteries ranging from 6 to 32V. In testing a battery charger (during design or for.... -
When your application requires no PWM (pulse-width-modulated) dimming or controlled frequency operation, your primary concern may be that too much current could damage or destroy your LEDs. In this case, you can make a simple LED-current limiter from a.... -
I`m using regular analog control via pots, though will use digital readouts of voltage/current. Anyhow. I HAVE watched the PSU videos, but at least in simulations I couldn`t get the single-LT308x with the transistor limiter to work properly (one, it didn`t.... -
Drive an ultrasonic transducer by using this driver circuit. I have a quesiton for this operation. How can I limit my output current I am using a 60W transducer and maybe it can be damaged because of the output current. Could you direct me, or share sample.... -
An error amplifier is formed from Tr1 and Tr2, wired as a differential amplifier (often called a long-tailed pair - look at those collector leads). One input of this diff. amp is taken from the zener diode which provides a stable 4. 7 volts, the other diff..... -
I get that the LM723 current sense and current limit pins (2 & 3) see a voltage created by the very low restistance current limiting resistors and that when this voltage reaches a certain value, the IC shuts down or limits the power supply output. How or.... -
Dear friends i need your advice about the connection diagram of the MAX4685 analog switch attached. I have two inputs VI1 and VI2 and hence we have.... -
This circuit allows you to set a limit on the maximum output current available from your PSU. It`s very useful when you power-up a project for the first time - or carry out a soak-test. By setting an upper limit on the current available from your PSU - you.... -

The LTC4425 is a constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger designed to charge a 2-cell supercap stack from either a Li-Ion/Polymer battery, a USB port, or a 2. 7V to 5. 5V current-limited supply. The part operates as an ideal diode with an extremely....
