List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE.The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.
It is known as a current-limiting diode (CLD) or current-regulating diode (CRD). Internal structure. It consists of an n-channel JFET with the gate shorted to the source, which functions like a two-terminal current limiter (analogous to a voltage-limiting Zener diode). It allows a current through it to rise to a certain value, but not higher.
consequently no current-limiting resistor is required in the gate input MOSFETs, unlike PN junction devices (such as LEDs) can be paralleled because resistance increases with temperature, although the quality of this load balance is largely dependent on the internal chemistry of each individual MOSFET in the circuit
It offers the ability to set up a circuit with a graphical user interface and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. Originally, Qucs was composed of a circuit simulator "qucs-core", now Qucsator, and a GUI for schematic entry and plotting. The usage patterns, as well as the emphasis on RF design, were ...
An inrush current limiter is a device or devices combination used to limit inrush current. Passive resistive components such as resistors (with power dissipation drawback), or negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors are simple options while the positive one (PTC) is used to limit max current afterward as the circuit has been operating (with cool-down time drawback on both).
Active constant current is typically regulated using a depletion-mode MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor), which is the simplest current limiter. [2] Low drop-out (LDO) constant current regulators also allow the total LED voltage to be a higher fraction of the power supply voltage.
The basic current mirror can also be implemented using MOSFET transistors, as shown in Figure 2. Transistor M 1 is operating in the saturation or active mode, and so is M 2. In this setup, the output current I OUT is directly related to I REF, as discussed next.
The principal limitation on the use of the Wilson current mirror in MOS circuits is the high minimum voltages between the ground connection in Fig. 5 and the input and output nodes that are required for proper operation of all transistors in saturation. [10]
