Abstract:
A circuit includes a voltage source, a transistor, a load current sensor, a hardware latch and a logic circuit. The transistor is connected between the voltage source and a load. The sensor emits a fault signal when the load current exceeds a predetermined value. The hardware latch sets a latch signal when it receives the fault signal and maintains the latch signal until it receives a rearm signal. The logic circuit receives the latch signal from the hardware latch and also receives a software command for controlling turning on and off of the circuit. When the latch signal is not set, the logic circuit converts the software command to a control voltage applied at a gate of the transistor, turning on the transistor to allow power delivery to the load. A system includes a microcontroller providing software commands and rearm signals to a plurality of circuits.

Claim (Index 6):
The circuit of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n a boost voltage source, a boost voltage of the boost voltage source being positive and greater than a voltage of the voltage source; and a resistive divider connected to the boost voltage source, to the gate of the transistor, and to the coupler; wherein the combiner causes a deactivation of the coupler when, concurrently, the status of the circuit is normal and the software command is a command to turn on the transistor; wherein the combiner causes an activation of the coupler when the status of the circuit is not normal, or when the software command is a command to turn off the transistor, or both; wherein deactivation of the coupler causes the boost voltage to be applied at the gate of the transistor for turning on of the transistor; and wherein activation of the coupler causes a voltage defined at least in part by the boost voltage source and by the resistive divider to be applied at the gate and to be less than the boost voltage for turning off of the transistor.
