In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a high side pass device. The apparatus also includes a low side pass device coupled in series to the high side pass device. The apparatus further includes a control module coupled to the high side pass device and the low side pass device. The control module is coupled to the high side pass device and the low side pass device to control the high side pass device and the low side pass device. Additionally, the apparatus includes a first resistor coupled in series with the high side pass device and the low side pass device. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a first comparator coupled in parallel with the first resistor. The first comparator has a threshold voltage input differential corresponding to a first current limit, and an output of the first comparator is coupled to the control module. Moreover, the apparatus includes a second comparator coupled to sense current of the high side pass device as a voltage. The second comparator has a threshold voltage input differential corresponding to a second current limit. An output of the second comparator is coupled to the control module. The second current limit is higher than the first current limit. Also, the control module is operable to lock out the high side pass device responsive to the output of the first comparator until a reset signal is received and is operable to lock out the high side pass device responsive to the output of the second comparator until a low current signal is received.
