ABSTRACT:
A current sensor and limiter provides an output current having a value which is a sum of at least a portion of an input current and a reference current. The current sensor senses an input current which exceeds the reference current, and activates a current shunt which diverts from the input current, an amount of current which is equal to the amount of current by which the input current exceeds the reference current.
