Abstract
Power MOS device, in which a power MOS transistor has a drain terminal that is coupled to a power supply node, a gate terminal that is coupled to a drive node and a source terminal that is coupled to a load node. A detection MOS transistor has a drain terminal that is coupled to a detection node, a gate terminal that is coupled to the drive node and a source terminal that is coupled to the load node. A detection resistor has a first terminal coupled to the power supply node and a second terminal coupled to the detection node.
