LAB techniuque to avoid higher current then possible
« on: September 21, 2024, 01:48:59 pm »
Hello,I have build a circuit which intend to use as a driver for PMA5-83-2W+.
My main concern   is the driver putting more current then the port can handle.
For example in my circuit shown in the attached photo I have TL431 which can output much more then 4mA.
So In the worst scenario my circuit will see 100Ohm instead of 555Ohm and I will get much higher current flowing into the Vg1 port and damaging it.
Is there a way to handle it in the lab?
Thanks.

LTSPICE file are attached.

I'm not understanding the problem, the TL431 cannot supply any current, it can only sink it. The current supply is from the opamp which is limited by the resistor.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
