VOLTAGE REGULATOR CIRCUIT

摘要

A voltage regulator circuit is described which includes a circuit input (48) and a circuit ouput for coupling to a load (74). A circuit interrupt element (82) is coupled between the input (48) and the load (74) for breaking the circuit between the input (48) and the load (74). A sensing circuit (76) between the input (48) and the output senses when a signal applied to the load (74) exceeds a defined limit. A trigger circuit (72) coupled to the sensing circuit (76) causes the circuit interrupt (82) element to trip when the sensing circuit (76) senses a signal which exceeds the defined limit.
