Claim Text:
1. An electrical circuit comprising: a first monolithic integrated circuit (IC) switch device comprising a first pin, a second pin, and a power switch that connects the first pin of the first monolithic IC switch device to the second pin of the first monolithic IC switch device through the power switch of the first monolithic IC switch device when the electrical circuit is turned ON; and a second monolithic IC switch device having a first pin, a second pin, and a power switch that connects the first pin of the second monolithic IC switch device to the second pin of the second monolithic IC switch device through the power switch of the second monolithic IC switch device when the electrical circuit is turned ON, the first pin of the second monolithic IC switch device being connected to the first pin of the first monolithic IC switch device, the second pin of the second monolithic IC switch device being connected to the second pin of the first monolithic IC switch device, wherein the second monolithic IC switch device further comprises a current balancing circuit that controls the power switch of the second monolithic IC switch device to reduce an output current of the second monolithic IC switch device when the output current of the second monolithic IC switch device is greater than an average of output currents of monolithic IC switch devices in the electrical circuit.
