Abstract
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to methods and devices for protecting a circuit against overcurrents. The device uses variable impedance properties of a semiconductor switch and includes closed-loop control for controlling the impedance of the switch as a function of the overcurrents to be corrected. The physical design stresses of an electrical circuit, linked to the protection against overcurrents, can therefore be limited.
