Claim 6:
7. The current limiting circuit of claim 1, wherein the circuit comprises two over-current detectors, wherein a first over-current detector comprises a first comparator, wherein the first comparator is configured to receive an input signal at a first terminal based on the input current, receive a first reference current at a second terminal and output a first LIMIT signal at an output terminal when the input current exceeds the reference current, wherein a second over-current detector comprises a second comparator, and wherein the second comparator is configured to receive an input signal at a first terminal based on the output current, receive a second reference current at a second terminal and output a second LIMIT signal at an output terminal when the output current exceeds the reference current.
