  • Publication number: 20130293986
    Abstract: A current limiting circuit for a linear regulator includes an output stage transistor and a replica transistor, which have gates coupled to receive an output voltage from a linear amplifier and sources coupled to load circuitry. A drain of the output stage transistor is coupled to a VDD supply terminal, while a drain of the replica transistor is coupled to the VDD supply terminal through a first resistor. The output stage transistor and replica transistor are operated in saturation, such that proportional currents flow through these transistors. The voltage drop across the first resistor provides a first voltage, which is applied to a second amplifier. A reference voltage is also applied to the second amplifier. When the first voltage becomes less than the reference voltage, a feedback transistor is enabled to pull down the output voltage of the linear amplifier, thereby limiting the output current supplied to the load circuitry.
