Abstrakt: This paper intends to show that even with a CMOS technology main driving and protection functions of a power VDMOS can be made performant. Original circuits taking advantage of the availibility of the parasitic vertical bipolar transistor are presented and experimentally evaluated. A current mode approach is proposed to improve the accuracy of the current sensing function aimed at performing overcurrent, short-circuit and open-load detection.
