Constant current power supplies

Let's see a show of hands how many of you have used cel phone charger even like the iphone charger or any of the newer smart phone chargers. Well how may hands are up in the air Guess what there constant current supply that do to things one
there output is fixed at 5 volts till you over load them then it drops off to a point that they shut down.

Not sure what you are trying to say here exactly. However as far as cell phone charger modules most are indeed just fixed DC voltage regulators, typically rated at 5.1 or 5.2 vdc output and at some maximum current rating. The chip that handles how much constant current to allow to charge the phones Li battery and when to shutdown charging current when the cell is fully charged is inside the phone itself. I find these power modules at second hand stores for usually $1-2 and they work fine for powering small digital projects drawing an amp or less.
