Short Circuit Protection For LM317

[dsanthosh67]

Hi,

I am looking for a perfect short circuit protection schematic for LM317 Linear regulator circuit. Suggest any ideas without using any additional IC's.

LM317 already comes with built-in short circuit + overload protection.

including over-temperature.
So you get all that with zero added parts. :wink:

Why didn't you read the datasheet?

Gasp! :shock:
That's blasphemy to the newbie.
Much easier to let us do that for them.

The newbie is planning to use or is already using an LM317 without reading the datasheet to see all the details about it??

Well, at least newbie is thinking about circuit protection rather than letting her rip!
