Abstract:
An apparatus for performing resistance control on a current sensing component in an electronic device and an associated method are provided. For example, the apparatus may comprise a power switching unit and a feedback module, and the power switching unit is utilized as the current sensing component when the power switching unit enables the power path. The feedback module may comprise: a power switching unit replica that receives a first voltage at the battery terminal and outputs a second voltage; a first current source, coupled between the power switching unit replica and a ground terminal, arranged to receive the second voltage; a reference voltage generator that generates a third voltage; and an error amplifier that receives the second voltage and the third voltage and outputs a fourth voltage, wherein the feedback module controls both of the power switching unit and the power switching unit replica according to the fourth voltage.
