Device and method for determining a load current

摘要

An integrated driver (200) with improved load current sense capability includes a first transistor (M1), a first amplifier (OA1), a second transistor (M3), a third transistor (M2), a second amplifier (OA2) and a fourth transistor (M4). The integrated driver (200) allows for significantly better fault handling capability, provides accurate thermal and current sensing capability and reduces I/O pin count over prior designs.
