ABSTRACT:
An adaptive current limiter is coupled to a power source and which comprises a variable reference voltage generator which provides a variable reference voltage which is inversely proportional to the input voltage from the power source, which in certain embodiments is representative of the maximum allowable current level that may flow through a connected load at the present voltage provided by the power source given a fixed power limit. The current flow to the load is interrupted when the power level provided to the load exceeds predefined constant power and/or constant current limits.
