Simple Current Limiting Circuit using IC LM317/LM338
Current going to load is controlled by Simple Current Limiting Circuit using ICs LM317/LM338. These chips also work as current limiters if set properly. Power comes in as Vin. LM317/LM338 have 3 pins: input, output and adjust. Vin goes to input pin. Output pin (Vout) goes to load and gives limited current. Circuit Working: Parts […]
