Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. The circuit of claim 2, wherein the control circuit includes:
a first resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit configured to detect the condition,
wherein the control circuit is configured to open the first switch responsive to the condition, the transient voltage detected at the first of the input terminals, and the transient voltage detected at the second of the input terminals; and
a second resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit configured to detect an additional condition indicating the first switch has been closed for more than another threshold amount of time greater than the threshold of time,
wherein the control circuit is configured to open the first switch based on the additional condition without regard to the transient voltage detected at the first of the input terminals nor the transient voltage detected at the second of the input terminals.
