ABSTRACT:
A method is provided that comprises determining an amount of a first current from an amount of a charge stored in a first capacitor. Also, an apparatus is provided that comprises a reference timer circuit configured to generate a first signal indicating an expiration of a time period, and a sense circuit comprising a first capacitor and configured to sense, responsive to the first signal, a charge stored in the first capacitor, and to generate a second signal representing the sensed charge.
