Voltage regulators provide short-circuit current foldback 

Low dropout regulators (LDOs) feature a high PSRR of 70dB at 1kHz (typical) and a maximum output current of 150mA at +125°C junction temperature. The Microchip MCP1754/MCP1754S LDOs offer a high input voltage of 16V and an output voltage range from 1.8 to 5.5V, with standard output voltages of 2, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.3, 4, and 5V, and output voltage tolerances of ±2.0% \over the entire temperature range. The MCP1754 provides enhanced features, such as a shutdown input signal and a power-good output signal, while the MCP1754S is the baseline version of the device....

Brushless dc motor with gear and encoder options 

A newly designed 70-W flat brushless motor delivers a maximum continuous torque of 130mNm at an efficiency of up to 85%. The Maxon motor in its 45mm diameter is available with Hall sensors and comes in four windings (24, 30, 36, and 48V). ...
