Sense resistor surroundingly positioned near or around and integrated with an output connection

An integrated sense resistor within an integrated circuit (IC) may be surroundingly positioned near and coupled to a connection such as a pin or ball. The integrated sense resistor may be shaped such that more surface area of the integrated sense resistor is coupled to be positioned closer or in actual contact with the pin or ball than conventional straight layered integrated sense resistor solutions. The integrated sense resistor may be a non-straight shape that entirely surrounds or wraps around a connection to the pin or ball, such as a circular or oval shape, a box or rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or a polygonal shape. The integrated sense resistor may be a non-straight shape that partially surrounds a connection to the pin or ball, such as an open-circular or semi-circular shape, an open-sided box or rectangular shape, an open-sided triangular shape, an angular shape, or an open curved shape.
