Hi Ali8-no , i mean wasted power in output cap dis charger resistor
A question , why you want to use a capacitor in out put ? to guarantee that ripple is as low as you want ? but this is not the good way because it will make your supply response and loop , relax . and it won't be able to affect fast changes .
and when you want to use a high capacity capacitor in out put , it is not a good idea to use a resistor or something else to discharge it , so what will be the benefit f it ? you can prevent to using a cap in out put then after that you discharge it !!! it is not a good way as i've mentioned before .
I think i couldn't get your exact meaning . i think it is a good idea to explain your mean as clear as possible .7-becuase r5 is 10k and if we except q6 Veb and q5 Vce we have about 3.5 ma in q5 collector , it isn't right?
How you've calculated 3.5 ma for collector of q5 ? no that's not correct . did you get what i've told you before ? i told you try to read about principles that i've mentioned . if you don't do what i've told you , it is impossible that you understand how this circuit does work . and you will never be able to design a simple circuit like that . i've showed you the way .
if you need 5 amperes at out put then current through each resistor will be around 5/4=1.25 amperes . loss power across the each resistor will be (1.25)^2*0.1= 0.15 watt ( approximately )11- can i use 0.250W resistors for r1 to r4?
So it means you can use that .
When limiter is working it means Q7 is conducting so you can use another resistor and transistor exactly like that and use a red LED in it's collector . if you can't catch the idea i can draw it for you .12-what is best way to turn on an led when output current limited?
What do you mean by op amps inputs ? is your mean those five volts and 0.3 volts supply ?13-what is the best way to make accurate voltages for opamps inputs? zener or tl431 or ...?
Good Luck
