Abstract:
A current sense circuit includes a power transistor, a first level shifter, an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), a second level shifter, and a dummy transistor. The power transistor has a first terminal and a power control terminal coupled to a control voltage. The first level shifter is coupled to the first terminal and pulls up a voltage of the first terminal to an operating voltage. The OTA is coupled to the first level shifter and converts the operating voltage into an operating current. The second level shifter is coupled to the OTA and pulls down the operating voltage to the voltage of the first terminal. The dummy transistor has a dummy control terminal with the control voltage, and a third terminal coupled to the second level shifter and having the same voltage as the voltage of the first terminal.
