ABSTRACT:
A current-limiting circuit for a differential amplifier includes a voltage generator which is switched in parallel with a signal-current-generating impedance connected between the emitters of the differential amplifier transistors whenever an input signal exceeds the voltage of the voltage generator. A practical embodiment for limiting the current in either direction for opposite-polarity input signals includes a pair of voltage generators cross-coupled from a respective differential amplifier transistor base to the opposite transistor emitter via transistor switches.
