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 dual voltage regulator (IC4 to IC7) so that it [...]
Here the circuit has been modified to provide current limiting to reduce the output voltage if too much current is demanded. This will reduct the possibility of damaging equipment by drawing excessive current. All component values not marked are the same as in the previous circuits. R1 = 0.7 / Amperes. * R1 = 10 [...]
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 [...]
