  • Abstract
    A compact built-in current sensor based on a slightly modified latch comparator is presented, which allows fast detection and memorising of excessively high quiescent current without the need for a voltage reference. Response time, virtual ground distortion and silicon overhead are analysed in order to evaluate the sensor performance.
