PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A POWER ELEMENT OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

A protection device for a power element of an integrated circuit. The main feature of this protection device is that of measuring the output current, directly on the calibrated wire of connection to the outside rheophore; such wire being inside the integrated circuit, processing the current and the output voltage across the power element so as to give a signal to a threshold circuit, which limits the output current.
