Abstract
In at least one example, an apparatus includes a logic circuit having a switch control output and first and second logic circuit inputs. A pulse generator has a generator output coupled to the first logic circuit input. An elevated temperature detector has a detector output and a temperature sensor. The detector output is coupled between the second logic circuit input and the temperature sensor.
Claims8
An apparatus, comprising:
- a logic circuit having a switch control output and first and second logic circuit inputs, wherein the switch control output is configured to be coupled to a control terminal of a switch, and the logic circuit is configured to provide a switch control signal at the switch control output that selects between a sample-and-hold operation mode and a continuous operation mode;
- a pulse generator having a generator output coupled to the first logic circuit input;
- and
- an elevated temperature detector having a detector output and a temperature sensor, wherein the detector output is coupled between the second logic circuit input and the temperature sensor.
