The intent of this supply is to provide a supply for a sensor or other peripheral. Current limit protects this output against shorts to ground and limits output voltage overshoot during power up or during line or load transients. Current-limit and overtemperature protection circuits protect the internal MOSFET against excess power dissipation. If the supply is used to supply a sensor outside the ECU additional protections may be required.
