Abstract
In some examples, a control circuit is configured to control a transistor, and the control circuit includes a leading-edge detection unit configured to detect a time interval that corresponds to a leading-edge current spike through the transistor, wherein the time interval is independent of temperature. In some examples, the control circuit also includes a blanking unit configured to prevent the control circuit from turning off the transistor during the time interval.
