Current limiting

I would like to know how i can step down my current from the power supply from 420mA to 100mA.The current is from a 5V regulator and I don't want to change the output voltage

Current limiting

Have you considered using a variable resister for controlling the current?

Variable PSU Using L200C Regulator.

This regulator has inbuilt current limiting of max 2.5A using a wirewound power resistor 3Watts between pins 2 & 5 on this IC. Data can be found on ESR Electronic Components website at esr.co.uk. The only disadvantage is that calculations are involved in finding the required voltage and current limit.
