Abstract

A four pin integrated circuit MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) load switch is disclosed that provides full features including adjustable ramp time/rate, adjustable discharge time/rate, temperature control, over-current control, and short circuit protection. In some embodiments, the adjustable ramp is based on the voltage or current input into the integrated circuit.
