Your circuit must use only one transistor, no ICs. Diodes and RCL passives are allowed, but also no vacuum tubes, tunnel diodes, or other active components, you lateral thinkers.

Scamsters put the pedal to the metal on fraudulent pitches this time of year.

Transistor VT2 provides short-circuit protection to the load, with red LED D4 indicting an overload. (D2 blows out simultaneously with an overload.) Short-circuit current does not exceed 38 mA.

Transphorm GaN demos industry's first short circuit withstand time of 5 microseconds. Milestone proves GaN's robustness for high power applications.
