8.2.1.2.3 Current Limit

The OPA548 provides means to limit the maximum output current delivered by the amplifier. A resistor between the negative supply and the amplifier`s Ilim pin, or a DAC can be used to set the current limit. For this circuit a 14.7-kΩ resistor (Rcl) limits the output current to approximately 2.5 A.
