  • CONTROLLER TO DETERMINE A RISK OF THERMAL DAMAGE BASED ON CURRENT MEASUREMENTS
    Publication number: 20150241486
    Abstract: Examples disclose a system with an input current sensing circuit to measure an input current of a current carrier. Additionally, the examples disclose an output sensing circuit to measure an output current from the current carrier. Further, the examples disclose a controller to determine a power loss associated with the current carrier based on the input and the output current measurements. The power loss indicates a risk of a thermal damage to the current carrier.
