The circuit diagram shows the over voltage protection as a feature of LM317 linear voltage regulator. The circuit diagram shows the over voltage protection as a feature of LM317 linear voltage ...

Several Design Ideas (DIs) have employed the subject ICs to implement programmable current sources in an innovative manner [Editor’s note: DIs referenced in “Related Content” below]. Figure 1 shows ...

Every project needs a power supply. As 3.3volt logic replaces 5volt systems, we’re reaching for the LM317 adjustable voltage regulator, rather than the classic 7805. We’ve found four different ...

The resistor and 10 uF capacitor are already forming a low-pass filter, which should prevent any spikes in either current/voltage. I don't know much about laser diodes though, so I am not sure what ...
