Links to electronic circuits, electronic schematics, designs for engineers, hobbyists, students & inventors:
Electronic Circuit Breaker - This circuit uses the on-resistance of the MOSFET as the current sensor. Reset it by removing the input power or the load. The circuit draws no current unless tripped.  Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 09/05)
Electronic Fuse Emulates Fast or Slow Blow Fuses - 11/09/00 EDN-Design Ideas: PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll to find the one of interest / The electronic-fuse circuit in this article combines the properties of a current transducer and a solid-state relay to disconnect low power at.....(design idea added 5/02)
Electronic Fuzing - National Semiconductor Application Note 05-Aug-1995 (app note added 8/02)
Equip switchers with overCurrent protection - 06/24/99 EDN-Design Ideas: (added 2/06)
External components provide true shutdown for boost converter - 03/16/06 EDN-Design Ideas: An additional MOSFET and resistor solves the problem by opening the unwanted current path during shutdown.....(design idea added 09/06)
Failed Power Light - turns on small low voltage lighting when mains power disappears (added 6/06)
Failsafe Biasing Of Differential Buses - National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 6/06)
Failsafe Biasing of LVDS Interfaces - National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 6/06)
Fail-Safe Monitoring & Clock Frequency Switching using the PIC16f684 - Microchip Application Note Published 16-Dec-03  (app note added 6/06)

Fast IC Power Transistor with Thermal Protection - National Semiconductor Application Note  (app note added 2/06)
Fault Latch Circuit Protects Switchers - 02/19/04 EDN-Design Ideas: Many power-supply designers like to have a regulator latch off in the event of an overcurrent situation or other fault condition. Yet, many PWM controllers do not internally support this latch-off function. Most do, however, have a power-good output and an enable function. The circuit in Figure 1 adds that latch-off capability at low cost in little additional space.....(design idea added 1/05)
For want of circuit protection devices - 02/03/97 EDN-Design Feature.....(design idea added 2/06)  A variety of devices protects sensitive circuits against overvoltage or overcurrent conditions, thereby preventing overheating, avalanche breakdown, and device burnouts. —Bill Travis, Senior Technical Editor
Fuse Monitor/Alarm - a simple way to see if a fuse has blown without removing it from its holder (added 4/02)
Ground Fault Interrupter - Electronic circuit design (added 02/05)
Ground Fault Interrupter (appnote) - National Semiconductor Application Note MP1851 June 1992 (app note added 02/05)
High Side Driver has Fault Protection - 09/05/02 EDN-Design Ideas: High-side drivers find common use in driving grounded solenoid coils and other loads. Short-circuit protection for such drivers is essential for avoiding damage from wiring faults and other causes. Polymer fuses are generally too slow, and discrete current-limiting circuits are large and cumbersome. The circuit in Figure 1 uses a small, low-dropout linear regulator as a high-side switch and p.....(design idea added 1/05)
