Circuit Protection With Discrete Components

While designing a sensor breakout PCB I decided it would be useful to include power input protection in the form of reverse voltage and overvoltage protection. This circuit is a combination along with slight modification of two circuits I found online. In this article I build up a prototype for functional testing and also perform some circuit characterization. This is a prototype circuit that I plan to implemented in future projects.

The motorcycle indicator market has gone mostly LED with almost no aftermarket options with […]
