Abstract
A circuit and method for limiting the power supplied to a load are provided. The circuit and method prevent power supplied to the load from exceeding a power threshold for a programmable amount of time specified in a timer. The circuit includes a voltage controlled current source coupled to the load. A current multiplier divider is coupled to the voltage controlled current source and a timer is coupled to the load. A comparator with an adaptive threshold is coupled to the current multiplier divider and the input for controlling the timer to limit the power supplied to the load.
