Abstract

The maximum current flow in a circuit is limited to a predetermined maximum value by dividing the load current into low and high current paths with the use of interconnected current mirror circuits. By limiting the current flow in the low current path by means of a low current constant current source, the maximum value of a much larger current flow through the load is limited to a predetermined value.
