| The concept in this circuit is that R<sub>2</sub> acts as current sense resistor. When the load current times R<sub>2</sub>, the sense voltage, reaches about 0.6 (for silicon transistors ) Q<sub>2</sub> begins to conduct and increases current in R<sub>1</sub> which limits the base drive to Q<sub>1</sub>reducing its output current. The maximum current from the circuit is reached when I<sub>L</sub>*R<sub>2</sub> = 0.6. This circuit can be used to protect amplifiers (including push pull amplifiers.), power supplies and other circuits; or it can be used as a constant current circuit. This is not a precision circuit; however it is a simple and effective circuit. | The concept in this circuit is that R<sub>2</sub> acts as current sense resistor.
