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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using a current limiter in boost converters for circuit protection. An easy-to-implement design idea to achieve the desired current limiting. 1. A current limiter is added to a power bank that has an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Question: Could I easily and precisely limit a current to my load? Answer: Yes, there are current limiting ICs available. In some power management applications, precise current limiting is required.

For a long time, I have thought that pulse generator outputs should not have adjustable amplitude and offset. Instead, they should have an adjustable top value and a separately adjustable bottom value ...

Industrial automation customers can improve their short-circuit protection with a new line of current-limiting, molded-case circuit breakers from Rockwell Automation. The line expands the ...
