A current-limiting circuit is often needed to protect the most expensive parts of the circuit from transients such as current spikes, which occur when a power supply is driving a large capacitive load ...

Fault protection is a critical function of all power supply controllers. Nearly all applications require some kind of over-load protection. For peak current-mode controllers this is easily ...

Hot-swap circuits are among those measures put in place to protect equipment or personnel, or both. Some power supplies, for example, have built-in and adjustable current limiting (standard in ...

I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & cheap adjustable current limiting circuit. I use an old ATX PSU as a bench supply for my projects and needed a simple & ...

Constant current limiting circuits are commonplace, but sometimes a constant power limiting function is desired instead. This can be because downstream loads, like DC/DC converters, present a constant ...

Controlling LEDs is really quite simple. As you know, they need to be current limited which is as easy as applying Ohm’s law to your given set of values. To make things even more even there’s a slew ...
