This application note shows how to use linear voltage regulators to provide a constant current. Two circuits are presented, one for high-side and another for low-side current sources. The MAX1818 and ...

A simple method of charging a battery from a higher voltage battery is shown in the circuit below to the left. Only one resistor is needed to set the desired charging current and is calculated by ...

Current source inverters and converters represent a crucial class of power electronics devices that convert direct current from a constant current source into alternating currents with precise control ...

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 ...
