ABSTRACT:
A circuit limits the output drive current from an interface drive circuit comprising drive transistors. The circuit makes dual use of an external series supply resistor as a current sensing element. The increased voltage drop across the external resistor due to excessive current draw through the drive transistors is coupled to a control transistor, which reduces base drive current to the drive transistors in response to the increased voltage drop.
