The invention discloses a current-limiting circuit used for an MOS tube and an MOS switch device. The circuit comprises a first PNP type
audion, a second NPN type
audion, a static
voltage drop unit and a current sampling
resistor, wherein the emitter of the first PNP type
audion is connected with the drive
signal source output end of the MOS tube, the base of the first PNP type audion is connected with the collector of the second NPN type audion, and the collector of the first PNP type audion is grounded; the base of the second NPN type audion is connected with one end of the static
voltage drop unit, and the emitter of the second NPN type audion is grounded; the other end of the static
voltage drop unit is connected with the end, connected with the source of the MOS tube, in the current sampling
resistor, and the other end of the current sampling
resistor is grounded; the drain of the MOS switch tube is connected with a load, the grid off the MOS switch tube is connected with the drive
signal source output end. When the sum of
voltage drop generated on the current sampling resistor and voltage of the static
voltage drop unit is larger than turn-on voltage of the second NPN type audion, the second NPN type audion is switched on, then the first first PNP type audion is switched on, and G
electrode drive voltage of the MOS switch tube is limited to limit currents.
