Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a circuit that includes a driver circuit and a current limiter circuit. The driver circuit is configured to drive a load with an output current when the load is coupled with the driver circuit. The current limiter circuit is configured to turn on a path to deplete a portion of the output current from the driver circuit in order to prevent a load current flowing through the load from exceeding a current limit.
