The LM2931 series can be current boosted with a PNP transistor. The
D45VH7, on a heatsink, will provide an output current of 5.0 A with an input
to output voltage differential of approximately 1.0 V. Resistor R in
conjunction with the VBE of the PNP determines when the pass transistor
begins conducting. This circuit is not short circuit proof.
The circuit of Figure 19 can be modified to provide supply protection against
short circuits by adding the current sense resistor RSC and an additional PNP
transistor. The current sensing PNP must be capable of handling the short
circuit current of the LM2931. Safe operating area of both transistors must be
considered under worst case conditions.
