This project is made out of few junkbox parts and builds a useful constant current load for switch mode power supply, battery testing, and other applications. A dummy load is traditionally a big ...

The purpose of this project is to control the current across a load by using pulse width modulation for maximum power efficiency while being constructed on a breadboard. The project accommodates the ...

How do you deliver constant power when the load impedance isn't constant? That problem arises, for example, in trying to maintain a warm LCD display on an outdoor gas pump in cold climates. As the ...

Most modern power-supply control ICs offer built-in overcurrent or short-circuit protection. While some overcurrent-protection schemes are latching, others are nonlatching. When the overcurrent trip ...
