Abstract:
1. A current-limiting circuit, comprising: a first switch, a diode, an inductance, an input having a first input connection and second input connection, and an output having a first output connection and second output connection, the second input connection being connected through the first switch to the inductance and to the anode of the diode and through the inductance to the second output connection, the cathode of the diode being connected to the first input connection and to the first output connection of the output, wherein the inductance is a component of a high frequency filter, wherein the current-limiting circuit is operatively disposed between two capacitors of the high frequency filter, wherein a first connection of a first capacitor of said two capacitors is connected to the cathode of the diode and is further connected to a second capacitor of said two capacitors via a shared connection node, and a second connection of the first capacitor is connected to the first switch, and wherein a first connection of the second capacitor is connected to the cathode of the diode and is further connected to the first connection of the first capacitor via the shared connection node, and a second connection of the second capacitor is connected to the inductance.
