Regulator IC forms convenient overvoltage detector

Figure 1 shows a simple, stand-alone overvoltage detector. The intent of the circuit is to monitor a voltage, VMONITOR, and set the output, VOUT, high when the monitored voltage exceeds a preset threshold. The minimum allowable threshold for this circuit is 1.25V. The operation of the circuit revolves around the TLV431 shunt regulator. This IC is based on the popular TL431 shunt regulator. The difference is that the TLV431‘s internal reference is 1.25V, as opposed to 2.5V for the TL431. When the voltage at the control input is less than 1.25V, the regulator‘s cathode current is essentially zero. If the control input exceeds 1.25V, the cathode conducts and turns Q1 on to produce a high output at VOUT. The trip threshold, determined by resistors R1 and R2, is VTHRESHOLD=1.25(1+R1/R2). D1, the diode between VOUT and the control input, provides hysteresis and latches the overvoltage fault condition. If you don‘t need latching operation, you can add a resistor in series with the diode to lower the hysteresis value and prevent the circuit from latching.

The circuit in Figure 1 uses a minimal number of external parts to raise the maximum output current of a 0.5A buck switching-regulator IC to more than 6A. The circuit accommodates input voltages of 15 to 60V and delivers output voltages of 3.3, 5, or

Switching regulator forms constant-current source

Many applications require current sources rather than voltage sources. When you need a high-current source, using a linear regulator is inadvisable, because of the high power dissipation in the series resistor. To solve the wasted-power problem, you
