Abstract:
A circuit includes a power transistor including a first control input and first and second current terminals, the second current terminal to be coupled to a load to provide current to the load. A second transistor includes a second control input and third and fourth current terminals, and the first and second control inputs connected together and the first and third current terminals connected together. A third transistor includes a third control input and fifth and sixth current terminals. A fourth transistor includes a fourth control input and seventh and eighth current terminals, and the seventh current terminal is coupled to the fourth and fifth current terminals. An amplifier amplifies a difference between voltages on the second and fourth current terminals. An output of the amplifier is coupled to the third control input and a diode device is connected between the third and fourth control inputs.
