Abstract:
An apparatus includes an output transistor device configured to control an output voltage of an output node in response to a control signal and an input voltage. A current sensor is configured to sense an output current supplied from the output node. A feedback converter is configured to convert the sensed output current to a feedback signal that tracks the output voltage of the output node. The feedback converter is further configured to set a clamping threshold. A gate control circuit is configured to generate the control signal in response to the feedback signal. The gate control circuit is configured to clamp the output voltage of the output node via the control signal based on the clamping threshold.

Claim (Index 12):
The clamp circuit of  claim 11 , wherein the output terminal of the output transistor device is configured to provide an output voltage of the clamp circuit in response to an input voltage applied to the input terminal and a control signal applied to the control terminal of the output transistor device,\n wherein the current sensor is configured to provide a sensor signal representing an output current of the output terminal, wherein the current source is configured to generate scaled current in response to the sensor signal, wherein the mirror transistor device and the divider circuit are configured to convert the scaled current of the current source to a feedback signal at the intermediate of the divider circuit corresponding to the output voltage, and wherein the gate control circuit is configured to provide the control signal to the control terminal based on the feedback signal such that the output voltage at the output terminal is clamped if the input voltage exceeds a clamping threshold.
