Patent 9804205 was granted and assigned to Power Integrations on October, 2017 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method for sensing the current in a high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) that compensates for changes in a drain-to-source resistance of the HEMT. The method includes receiving a sense voltage representative of the current in the HEMT, receiving a compensation signal representative of a drain-to-source voltage of the HEMT, and outputting as a compensated sense voltage a linear combination of the sense voltage and the compensation signal.
