Abstract:
An apparatus includes a power transistor to conduct a load current from a supply voltage node to an output node and a current sense circuit coupled to the power transistor. The current sense circuit generates a current sense current proportional to the load current. A temperature sense circuit is included to generate a temperature sense voltage proportional to the temperature of the power FET. A thermal limit circuit is coupled to the temperature sense circuit. A current limit circuit is coupled to the current sense circuit and to the thermal limit circuit. The current limit circuit generates a control signal on a current limit circuit output node. The control signal is responsive to the current sense current and to a first current from the thermal limit circuit. The current limit circuit output node is coupled to a control input of the power transistor.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 8 , further including a charge pump circuit having an input and an output, the input of the charge pump circuit connected to the input voltage node and the output of the charge pump coupled to the control input of the power transistor.
