  • OVERCURRENT BASED POWER CONTROL AND CIRCUIT RESET
    Publication number: 20130265088
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit is provided. The circuit includes a load configured to receive power through a power path. The circuit also includes a current monitor configured to sense a current draw on the power path. A switch on the power path is coupled in series between the load and a power rail, and a control circuit is coupled to the current monitor. The control circuit is configured to set the switch to a non-conducting state and to send a reset signal to the load if the current monitor senses an overcurrent on the power path.
