Abstract
An electrical protection device including an input line, an output terminal, and a power transistor coupled between the input line and the output terminal A sensing transistor is connected between the input line and the output terminal and has a body terminal. A control stage is coupled to respective control terminals of the power transistor and of the sensing transistor and is configured to limit a first current of the power transistor to a protection value. A body-driving stage is coupled to the body terminal and is configured to bias the body terminal of the sensing transistor as a function of an operating condition of the power transistor.
