Hi there...
I need a current limiter circuit diagram, can anyone help me?
I will drive the circuit with maximum of 14Vdc, and Max current of 6A to 8A.

Thank you.
 

I am not sure what you are looking for. Do you want a current limited power supply? Or are you trying to limit the current the PWM uses from an existing fixed supply?

Limiting the current of that the PWM uses is most often done as a peak limiter. One way is to place a small value resistor in the emitter circuit or the source circuit, depending on BJT or MOSFET. These resistors tend to reduce the drive of the transistor as the current demand goes up.

The pass transistor is good for 6-7A. Adjust other values as necessary.
