Abstract
According to an example, a device is suggested, said device comprising a switching element, an integrated sensor providing a signal and an electronic fuse that is arranged to determine a fuse condition based on the signal and based on at least one fuse characteristic and to trigger a fuse event in case the fuse condition is met.
Claims23
A device comprising:
- a switching element,
- an integrated sensor providing a signal, and
- an electronic fuse that is arranged
- to determine a fuse condition based on the signal and based on at least one fuse characteristic, and
- to trigger a fuse event in case the fuse condition is met.
2 more elements
A method for controlling a switching element comprising:
- determining a fuse condition by electronic fuse based on a signal provided by an integrated sensor of the switching element and based on at least one fuse characteristic of the electronic fuse, and
- triggering a fuse event by the electronic fuse in response to the fuse condition being met.
A device comprising:
- means for determining a fuse condition based on a signal provided by an integrated sensor of a switching element and based on at least one fuse characteristic, and
- means for triggering a fuse event in case the fuse condition is met.
A computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a digital processing device, cause the digital processing device to:
- determine a fuse condition of an electronic fuse based on a signal provided by an integrated sensor of a switching element and based on at least one fuse characteristic of the electronic fuse, and
- trigger a fuse event by the electronic fuse in response to the fuse condition being met.
