Abstract
The current limiting circuit of the present invention includes a transconductance amplifier having two outputs and forming a conventional feedback loop. A first output connects to an output transistor and a second output is a replica output used to form a rapid response feedforward path to control the gate of the output transistor, for example, an external MOSFET.
