Simple way to limit current using integrated MOSFeTs

The current in an electronic circuit usually has to be limited. In USB ports, for example, excessive current must be prevented to provide reliable protection for the circuit. Also in the power bank, the battery must be prevented from discharging. Too high discharge current results in too large voltage drop of the battery and insufficient supply voltage of downstream devices
