Figure 30. Current Boost Regulator
The NCP500 series can be current boosted with a PNP transis-
tor. Resistor R in conjunction with VBE of the PNP determines
when the pass transistor begins conducting; this circuit is not
short circuit proof. Input/Output differential voltage minimum is
increased by VBE of the pass resistor.
Figure 31. Current Boost Regulator with Short
Circuit Limit
Short circuit current limit is essentially set by the VBE of Q2 and
R1. ISC = ((VBEQ2 − ib * R2) / R1) + IO(max) Regulator
