56. In a series regulator, what is the purpose of fold-back limiting?
(a) to provide more current in the case of a short circuit (b) to limit output voltage if input voltage goes too high (c) to bypass the pass-transistor, if the pass-transistor should fail (d) to provide current up to a maximum, but drop current to a lower value when the output becomes shorted, to prevent overheating of the device
Answer
Answer : (d)
