Abstract

See full text

A threshold detection circuit may sense when current between a power supply and a load reaches a current threshold level. The threshold detection circuit may include a transistor in series with the load; a feedback circuit that causes the voltage drop across the transistor to be constant while the transistor is conducting current between the power supply and the load; a constant current source that delivers a constant current into the load; and a comparator that indicates when the voltage drop across the transistor falls below a voltage threshold level.
