A power MOSFET die and a logic and protection circuit die are mounted on
a common lead frame pad, such as a TO220 lead frame pad. The logic and
protection circuit die includes a MOSFET that is connected in parallel
with the power MOSFET but which is smaller than the power MOSFET and
which dissipates power at a predetermined fraction of that of the power
MOSFET. The logic and protection circuit die also includes a temperature
sensor that is in close proximity to the MOSFET and determines the
temperature of the MOSFET. The die also includes another temperature
sensor that is located distant from the MOSFET to determine the
temperature of the lead frame. The temperature of the power MOSFET can be
determined from the temperature measured by these two sensors and from
the ratio of the power dissipated by the two MOSFETs.
