Abstract
A fuse circuit configuration is described wherein a compensation capacitor counteracts a parasitic capacitor. The parasitic capacitor occurs between a connection point of a switching transistor and a fuse and ground. The compensation capacitor is connected to an evaluation circuit. In this manner, the negative effects caused by the parasitic capacitor are compensated for.
