<p>An inrush current limiter circuit (20) includes a mirrored transistor (50) responsive to a control signal (VDRIVE) developed from a sense current (ISENSE), and has a first source (51) coupled to a supply voltage, a common drain (53) that routes a load current (ILOAD) to an output node (45), and a second source that samples the load current to produce the sense current. A fault protection circuit (64) disables the mirrored transistor in response to a first fault condition (TEMP, UVLO) and is coupled to a first lead (43) for externally adjusting a fault threshold. A fault communication circuit (250) is coupled to the first lead to receive a fault signal representative of an external fault condition to disable the mirrored transistor.</p> |
