Excessive current flow must be prevented so that the electrical circuit can be reliably protected. Using a current limiter in boost converters for circuit protection. An easy-to-implement design idea ...

Voltage converters rarely offer an adjustable current limit. However, a high-side N-channel MOSFET static switch driver offers a possible solution to not only limiting current, but monitoring and ...

Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

Based on a National Semiconductor application note, this circuit uses an LM317 3-terminal regulator (REG1), chosen because of its built-in over-current and over-temperature protection. Its output is ...
