Abstract:
An embodiment of an apparatus, such as a circuit breaker, includes an input node, an output node, and a digital circuit. The input node is configured to receive an input voltage, and the output node is coupled to the input node and is configured to carry an output current. And the digital circuit is configured to uncouple the output node from the input node in response to a power drawn from the input node exceeding a threshold.
