The simple current-limiting load switch shown in Figure 1 will be familiar to most readers. In this circuit, a high level signal applied to the input switches on MOSFET Q2, which energizes the load.

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. This circuit builds on a previous idea in which the addition of an optocoupler to a microcontroller output converted a “dumb” ...

So there I was, a new hire for a leading-edge analog-electronics company. As it was my first job, I was wide-eyed and excited—confronting new problems left and right. One problem I ran into involved ...
