Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: assembling a current transformer, a bipolar transistor and a diode such that a first end of a first winding of the current transformer is coupled to a first package terminal of a package, such that a first end of a second winding of the current transformer is coupled to the first package terminal of the package, such that a second end of the first winding of the current transformer is coupled to a base of the bipolar transistor, such that a second end of the second winding of the current transformer is coupled to a collector of the bipolar transistor, such that an emitter of the bipolar transistor is coupled to a second package terminal of the package, such that an anode of the diode is coupled to the collector of the bipolar transistor, such that a cathode of the diode is coupled to the emitter of the bipolar transistor, and such that the package includes an amount of molded plastic encapsulant that encapsulates the current transformer, the bipolar transistor and the diode.
