Abstract
A circuit configuration includes a power switch and a measuring configuration for detecting the load current through the power switch. The circuit configuration utilizes a voltage drop across a connecting line, in particular a bonding wire, which is connected in series with the power switch for the purpose of determining the load current. A method for determining a current through a power semiconductor component is also provided.
