This is commonly found in
a stabilized power supply designed to produce a
fixed output voltage, to supply a computer, for
instance. Should the pass transistor fail short-

result in the pass transistor being turned on hard, a
lot of expensive ICs could bite the dust. Any safety
circuit designed to prevent this should, in the
