Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) having first and second current terminals and a transistor control terminal, wherein the first current terminal is coupled to a current measurement device; and
a switch having first and second switch terminals and a switch control terminal, wherein the first switch terminal is coupled to the transistor control terminal, the second switch terminal is coupled to a voltage source, the switch control terminal is adapted to be coupled to a controller, and the switch is configured to:
responsive to a first signal from the controller, apply a voltage between the transistor control terminal and the second current terminal; and
responsive to a second signal from the controller, apply approximately zero volts to the transistor control terminal.
