Max4373 Electronic Circuit Breaker

This a high-side current amplifier circuit breaker. The circuit-breaker application is possible for that device because  the latching-comparator output (COUT1) on the MAX4373, a high-side current-sense amplifier with reference and comparator. Here is the circuit : This circuit uses MAX4373FESA as a circuit-breaker threshold of 900mA, because its gain from sense resistor to output is 50V/V. Thus, 900mA through the […]

Temperature Under–and Over-Range Sensing with A Window Comparator

The window can be used to monitor a TEC operating temperature and indicate an out-of-range condition. To indicate an over temperature or under-temperature, this circuit uses the separated outputs. If the output’s logic is HIGH, the condition is over-temperature, if it is LOW, the condition is the TEC temperature is within its safe operating range. Here is the circuit : […]
