If he's using the '7301, then it is wasted as a comparator. It would be better to use it for a standard P-MOSFET VCCS where the external turn-on signal forms the input "V" sized for an output "C" of 4 amps, the loop saturates with FET full-on under normal operating conditions, and the limiting could be foldback or hard, with everything wrapped up in a single subcircuit. The only drawback is the weak output current capability of the '7301- wonder why that is so.
