Please excuse this simple question, since I am a newbie...
If you have a regulated switching PSU which for example produces 5 amps at 15v, what happens if your application tries to draw more than 5 amps?
Does the regulator IC simply refuse to supply any further current, or does it overload and for want of a better phrase, go bang?
I understand that when building a regulator IC circuit you can limit the output voltage and current by adjusting the resistance to some of the IC pins, does this mean the IC will refuse to supply current over the set limit without being damaged?
Thanks for your help
