more help needed! lol
after finishing my mosfet switches that i put in a different thread i realised that they could with some over current protection, but i want it to be fully automatic!
i found this IC and it will cope with the current, allegro micro-systems ACS756, but i gives a 0-5v output, is there an easy way to use this output to switch of my mosfets? i would like it to latch off until the power is reset. i looked at using a transistor and a divider but when the current got near the limit it would start to switch "half off" as the transistor would not quite saturate.
hear is a digram of what i have so far, the ammeter in there is a replacement of the ACS756.
thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome!
