Integrated circuit and method for classification of electrical devices and short circuit protection

摘要

An integrated circuit device and method for classifying electrical devices is disclosed. A reference current response of a plurality of electrical devices is determined and stored in a memory. Real-time current response of a specific electrical device is measured and stored in the memory. A processor compared the measured real-time current response of the specific electrical device to the reference current responses of the plurality of electrical devices, A classification of the electrical device is then made based on the comparison.
