    This design idea (DI) takes an unusual path to a power-handling DAC by merging an upside-down LM337 regulator with a simple (just one generic chip) PWM circuit to make a 20-V, 1-A current source. It’s suitable for magnet driving, battery ...

    Short-circuit protection is an obvious requirement for a power supply, especially when its load connects to a cable that's subject to damage. Many modern power-converter ICs include some means of protection, such as thermal shutdown, against ...

    Figure 1 shows an example of on/off circuitry commonly used in battery-operated devices. The p-channel MOSFET, Q 1 , serves as a power switch. When you push the On button, S 1 , Q 1 ’s gate goes low. Q 1 turns on and supplies battery voltage ...

    Circuits Supply Maxim MAX427 MAX4372H
    For the heating and cooling elements common in industrial systems, resistance is not a fixed quantity. These elements include such devices as positive-temperature-coefficient heaters and thermoelectric coolers. Their resistance can change more than ...

    Instead of the conventional approach of backing up a DAC with an amplifier to boost output, this design idea charts a less traveled by path to power. It integrates an LM317 positive regulator with a simple 8-bit PWM DAC topology to obtain a robust ...

  5. Using the MAX4373 high-side current-sense amplifier, a circuit can be designed with a voltage range to 28 V. All that is needed is a general-purpose NPN transistor. The latching-comparator output (COUT1) on the MAX4373, a high-side current-sense ...

    Driving LEDs at a regulated current from low supply voltages can be difficult because minimal overhead voltage is available for control circuits. A current-mirror architecture is suitable but usually works only with ICs with well-matched ...

    This dummy-load circuit has been in use at Maxim for more than 10 years (see the Figure 1). It's useful for testing power supplies and power amplifiers as well as drivers for LEDs, relays, and solenoids. Plus, it overcomes the limitations of ...

    Variable regulated power supplies are handy tools found on well-equipped electronics lab benches. The symmetrical varieties that produce equal voltage outputs of opposite polarity, are even more so. Figure 1’s version of a symmetrical 0 V to ...
