  • Over current sensing scheme for switch applications
    Patent number: 11362504
    Abstract: Circuits and methods for protecting against over-current conditions of switches are described. Over-current conditions can damage switches and the circuits they connect. Some embodiments of the present application provide a sense switch in parallel with the load switch. The sense switch is smaller than the load switch, and is used to sense an over-current condition of the load switch. The sense switch can remain on even when the load switch is turned off in response to detection of an over-current condition.
    Type: Grant
