Simple current limiter is programmable

rsdio tipped us to an app note on a simple current limiter.

This circuit lets you program a current limit without using microcontrollers or data converters. It consists of a charge-pump voltage doubler (U1), a current-sense amplifier (U2), and two n-channel MOSFETs. The sense-resistor value determines the maximum current limit.

Thanks rsdio!
