Zusammenfassung:	The application relates to co-packaged controlled overcurrent handling of a power switch assembly. The power switch assembly comprises a power switch and an overcurrent handling logic. The overcurrent handling logic includes an overcurrent detection circuit configured to detect an overcurrent condition of a load current of the power switch and to provide an overcurrent detection signal indicative of an overcurrent condition of the load current of the power switch and a discharge current generation circuit coupled to the overcurrent detection circuit, and configured to generate a discharge current to at least partially discharge a control terminal of the power switch responsive to the overcurrent detection signal.
