ABSTRACT:
Increased versatility in crowbar overvoltage protection for regulated power supplies is provided by a tracking circuit which allows setting the overvoltage limit at a predetermined increment above a programmable output voltage. In addition provision is made for programming up the crowbar protection circuit rapidly to anticipate the rise of voltage in the main power supply and for delaying the programming down of the protection circuit to allow the main power supply voltage to decay without triggering the protection circuit.
