  • Devices including two current monitors
    Patent number: 11031768
    Abstract: A device includes a current sensor, a first current monitor, and a second current monitor. The current sensor is to sense a current between an input node and an output node. The first current monitor is to disconnect the input node from the output node in response to the sensed current exceeding a first threshold current for a period exceeding a threshold period. The second current monitor is to disconnect the input node from the output node in response to the sensed current exceeding a second threshold current greater than the first threshold current.
