| May 6, 2015 at 16:46 | comment | added | EE_padowan | Despite seeming straightforward, I'm not quite sure how to implement this. Running the numbers with 0.6V for the diode turn on voltage and a max current of 1A, I'm left with a curious Rsense value of 0.6ohms. What's the best way to go about increasing this to a reasonable value? Would adding a third diode between the BJT base and the output/sense resistor raise this ceiling? Also, I don't understand the role of the Reference Diode. | |

What you have written is more of a comment, and doesn't go any further into the question's other concerns. When writing an answer, take the initiative to be a teacher - the purpose of the stack is to generate and store detailed knowledge that will be useful to lots of people. Take a look at a few of our top questions and answers to see what I mean. | |
