Some voltage references can be used as shunt regulators, either by tying V IN and V OUT together or by leaving V IN open. These devices are limited to low currents, however, with a typical limit of ...
An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.
Texas Instruments introduced the first analog DC/DC step-down controller with remote bipolar junction transistor (BJT) temperature-compensated inductor current sensing that minimizes total solution ...
