Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented for sensing current flowing in a power transistor of a switch mode converter, in which a voltage is sensed across a first field effect transistor connected in a series circuit branch in parallel with the power transistor, and the sensed voltage is used to generate output signal to indicate the current flowing in the power transistor.

Claim (Index 16):
A USB Power Delivery (PD) device, comprising:\n an input terminal, a switch node, and an output terminal a first transistor having a first drain coupled to the input terminal, a first gate, and a first source coupled to the switch node; an auxiliary circuit coupled in parallel with the first transistor, the auxiliary circuit including a second transistor having a second drain, a second gate, and a second source coupled to the first drain; and a sense circuit including a third transistor having a third drain, a third gate coupled to the second gate, and a third source coupled to the first drain.
