  • Patent number: 11316510
    Abstract: A method for quickly shutting down a transistor in a switching circuit includes (a) generating a feedback signal associated with current flowing through the transistor, (b) transmitting the feedback signal through an isolating device to a controller, (c) detecting an over-current condition in the switching circuit without transmitting information through the isolating device, and (d) shutting-down the transistor in response to detecting the over-current condition, without transmitting information through the isolating device.
