Abstract :
A current limiter is proposed which uses a compensation circuit providing an accurate stability without requiring a large compensation capacitor. Indeed thanks to the use of an enhanced Miller effect an equivalent 4-nF compensation capacitor was achieved while using only a 100-pF capacitor and a low-area single-stage amplifier
