ABSTRACT:
An amplifier circuit operable to provide symmetric current limiting. The amplifier circuit includes a common source amplifier for sourcing a current and receiving an voltage input, a current source, and a current limiting device coupled between the common source amplifier and the current source. The current limiting device is operable to limit the current sourced by the common source amplifier. A bias network coupled to the current limiting device biases the current limiting device. An output is coupled to the current limiting device. The amount of current that is sourced to the output of the amplifier circuit may be limited, such that current limiting is symmetrical.
