Over-voltage & over-current Protection

[mrkbuddy]

Please help me out to calculate the values of R1 & R2. what is the formula or how to derive it. i am attaching the circuit design. thanks

Design task:
Target specification for Current Limiting circuit
(i) Io [max allowed current] = 2A
(ii) Isc [fold back current] = 0.5A
(iii) Regulated output voltage Vo = 12V

d. Calculate the value of Rs.
Io = 2A
VbeM = 0.6A

From Ohm’s Law
Rs = VbeM¬¬ / Io
Rs = 0.6 / 2
Rs = 0.3Ω

e. Calculate the values of R1 & R2 to achieve the above data?

Please tell us how the circuit should work.
As drawn, R1 and R2 just dump power. Is this what is wanted?

It looks as if Qm is fighting the output of the op-amp.

There is a connection between op-amp- and Qm base, both of these are inputs so where is the signal coming from?

There is a connection between op-amp- and Qm base

A very round about one. It's confusing. At first I thought the voltage divider was connected to it.

Maybe R1=R2 and the base of Qm and the inverting input of op amp should be connected to this point.
Then the op amp is comparing 6V with half the output: so output =12V.

Rs is a current sense for short circuit of the output, developing a Voltage across the base-emitter of Qm. If the current drawn is enough to pull the emitter of Qm 0.7V below the base, then Qm switches on and reduces drive to Q1
