Current Limiting Circuits
- Page 3-
Detailed discussion of how to add current limit or foldback current limit to the linear regulator controllers of the MAX1864. Can be used with other discrete regulator designs such as in MAX1865, MAX1964, MAX1965, MAX8513, and MAX8514. Shows tested c.... -
The application circuit shown in the picture below with output voltage higher thanreferenced voltage is composed of the W723 multi-port adjustable positive stabilizer. There is current limiting protectionin this circuit and the output voltage is adjustable.... -
When the current is less than the value set, the bias current provided by R1 leads the P3 to be saturated to conduct. And it can not afford to control the current. When the current is greater than or equal to the set value, the pressure drop on R would.... -
This Precision Power Supply is a nice addition on your workbench as primary, or in my case, a supplementary power supply. With zero to 40V and 2A with adjustable current limiting it will surely gets lots of use on your bench. On average the most amperage for.... -
This regulator uses the drop across R3 to sense current draw, turning on Q2, removing drive from Q1, and lowering the output voltage. Limiting occurs when Q2 has 0. 65 V across the base-emitter junction. This circuit has foldback characteristics as seen from.... -
The output current issensed across R8, This is delivered to the current-limit arrtplifier through R7, across which the foldback potential is developed by R6 with a threshold determined by D4. The values given limit the peak power below 20 W and shut off the.... -
A TMOS MTM7N45 (Q2) is used as a series pass element in a linear high voltage supply that accepts +275-V unregulated and produces 250 V regulated with foldback current limiting. A 15-V zener, D1, provides the dc reference for operational amplifier U1, whose.... -
Provides overload and short-circuit protection for load while isolating malfunctioning circuit from other loads on common supply bus. In normal operation, Q1 is saturated. When load attempts to draw more than this saturation value, base current of Q1 cannot.... -
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.... -
This circuit places a maximum limit on the current available from the output terminals. It does this by limiting the maximum current that can flow through Q1. Because the output terminals are in series with Q1 - limiting the Q1 current also limits 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..... -
The new TPS2359 hot-plug controller integrates all of the power management functions for two AdvancedMC (AMC) modules. Its current limiting circuitry enables designers to meet tight AMC requirements. This is relevant because many applications use redundant....

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of.... -
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is.... -
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to.... -
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This.... -
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the.... -
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,.... -
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the.... -
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power.... -
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
