Foldback (power supply design)

Foldback is a current limiting feature (a type of overload protection) of power supplies and power amplifiers. When the load attempts to draw overcurrent from the supply, foldback reduces both the output voltage and current to well below the normal operating limits. Under a short circuit, where the output voltage has reduced to zero, the current is typically limited to a small fraction of the maximum current.
The prime purpose of foldback current limiting in linear power supplies is to keep the output transistor within its safe power dissipation limit.
With a linear voltage regulator, the output voltage ''V''out and output current ''I''out are maintained by simply dissipating away the surplus of input voltage ''V''in:
:P_ = (V_ - V_)\times I_
Under overload conditions the output voltage falls and so the difference ''V''in - ''V''out becomes larger, tending to increasing dissipation. For a simple current limit, safely handling the worst-case scenario (a short circuit) would therefore require a much larger heatsink and output transistor than would be required under normal operating conditions. Foldback partially solves this, helping to keep the normal-rated output transistor within its safe operating area under fault and overload conditions. Foldback also significantly reduces the power dissipation in the ''load'' in fault conditions, which can reduce the risks of fire and heat damage.
Many power supplies employ constant current limiting protection; foldback goes one step further by reducing the output current limit linearly as output voltage decreases. However it adds complexity to the power supply and can trigger "lockout" conditions with non-ohmic devices that draw a constant current independent of supply voltage (such as op-amps). Foldback in switched-mode power supplies is discouraged because of these disadvantages, and since the benefit of reducing the power dissipation does not apply. Despite this, foldback is still often implemented in them.〔
