Abstract
A PWM current control circuit that determines whether a start-up time, during which an decreased current is being drawn, for a load has elapsed and providing a switch that supplies current to the load with a control signal that limits the current being drawn if the start-up time has not elapsed and providing a standard PWM control signal from a microcontroller if the start-up time has not elapsed. Excessive inrush current during the start-up period of the load is avoided while the current is maintained to be within a predetermined range during start-up and after the start-up time has elapsed the control is again turned over to the microcontroller.
