Abstract
An MOS current limit circuit which provides current limiting protection is provided. A driver transistor of a conventional output stage is coupled to a current limiting transistor which is one transistor of a current mirror. The current limiting transistor of the current mirror has the V.sub.GS thereof accurately biased to insure a precise current limit value. When the current limiting transistor is not performing a current limiting function, the current limiting transistor is made conductive and further provides high voltage protection to the driver transistor when the driver transistor is nonconductive.
