The circuit is designed for power supply protection by limiting the amount of maximum output current to prevent any further damage to take place inside the power supply as well as the external circuit ...

The improved one-BJT current-limiting supply is not much different than the primitive circuit, though its one additional resistor does change the circuit behavior. The improved circuit is shown below.

Adding a clamp circuit to the well known current-limiter protects the "pass" transistor from over-currents when load faults occur. Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting ...

A previous Idea for Design described a technique for protecting the “pass” transistor in a current-limiting circuit against excessive power dissipation (see “Fault-Protected Current Limiter Keeps Its ...

For the first time, a superconducting current limiter based on YBCO strip conductors has now been installed at a power plant. At the Boxberg power plant of Vattenfall, the current limiter protects the ...

If you’re designing a universal port, you will be expected to provide power. This was a lesson learned in the times of LPT and COM ports, where factory-made peripherals and DIY boards alike had to ...

On April 14, in Jinchang city, Gansu province, as soon as the command was given, an artificially simulated single-phase instantaneous grounding short-circuit arc was instantly triggered at the ...

Power operational amplifiers (POPs) are becoming increasingly common in control circuitry. Their primary advantages over conventional amplifiers are reduced part counts, increased reliability, and ...

If you got your start in electronics sometime after 1980 your first project might well have been to light up an LED. Microcontroller projects often light up an LED, too, and a blinking LED is ...
