Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • 12v Battery Load Cutout Circuit
    Lead-acid batteries should not be discharged below a certain point if they are to last.  Also, you don’t want certain 12v powered devices, which might be plugged into a car’s cigarette lighter outlet, to drain the car battery down to a point where the car’s engine will not start.  To prevent battery damage or a dead battery, the circuit below disconnects a load from the battery when the voltage dips below a fixed but adjustable voltage and will not reconnect the load until a reset button is pressed.....

±500 Volt Protection Circuit -  Supertex Semiconductors  (app note added 2/06)
12 Volt Battery Charge Monitor -  Here is a battery monitor circuit which disconnects the load when the battery is discharged, preventing a a deep discharge which could cause permanent battery damage. The battery is automatically reconnected when a battery charger or other DC source....(electronic schematic / circuit added 4/02)
12 volt battery monitor -  R1 controls the trip-point of the circuit. when the voltage falls below the trip-point, the led lights. adjust it to the desired level. to use this circuit to monitor a 6v battery, substitute D1 for a 3.3 volt zener diode and adjust R1 accordingly.

Add fault protection to a 4- to 20-mA loop supply -  22-Jan-04 Issue of EDN  A 4- to 20-mA current loop consists of a power source and a current-measuring device at the control end and a field transmitter that senses process-variable information, such as temperature or pressure, and converts it to a current (Figure 1]. Most such industrial current loops are powered by 24V dc, but that voltage can range from 12 to 36V.... [Design Idea by Mark Pearson, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA]
