Abstract
One example discloses a current limited power device, including: a switch; an output coupled to the switch; a sensor coupled to sense a voltage across a parasitic diode within the switch; and an output current limiter circuit coupled to reduce a output current (Iout) from the output of the power device if the voltage across the parasitic diode exceeds a threshold level.
