Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a circuit includes a power transistor connected between a supply terminal and an output terminal; a control circuit coupled to a control electrode of the power transistor and configured to apply a control current to the control electrode to turn the power transistor on or off; and an overcurrent protection circuit connected to the power transistor. The circuit is configured to operate in a first mode, in which some functions of the circuit are inactive to reduce power consumption, and in a second mode, in which all functions of the circuit are active. The overcurrent protection circuit is configured to: in response to the circuit being in the first mode and a sense signal indicative of a load current passing through the power transistor reaching a first threshold, cause the circuit to change from the first mode to the second mode.
