Hello,
I need to find the best way to limit, not regulate a voltage input to +5VDC.
Basically I have a signal input that will fluctuate from 0 - 19VDC (250 mAmps) but I want to insure that if the signal goes over 5V it stays at 5V. My sensor doesn't like voltages over that but I *don't* want it to cut out (go to zero).
The linear regulators I see seem to all want to produce 5VDC no matter what.
