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 ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

June 20, 2011 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3015, a 1.5A negative low dropout linear regulator featuring fast transient response, low noise, and precision current limit. With its ...

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 ...

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 ...

These current-limit switches feature a low 32mΩ (typ) on-resistance and operate from a +2.3V to +5.5V input-voltage range. The current limit is adjustable from 250mA to 2.5A, making these devices ...
