| Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuits. More specifically, the invention relates to a method and apparatus for indicating an over-current condition in a switching circuit.
The invention relates to a method of to indicate an over-current condition in a switching circuit. The method includes monitoring a monitor voltage from the switching circuit, charging an energy storage device in response to the monitor voltage and a reference voltage, and generating an indication signal in response to the charging of the storage device. The method can be used to detect over-current conditions during high-speed switching and when transient load conditions and supply line noise are present. |
