Abstract
The invention is related to a method and system for temperature regulation of a power switch during charging of a portable device. The method includes the steps of establishing a connection between the portable device and a charging circuit, monitoring a charging current supplied from the charging circuit to the portable device, monitoring a temperature of the power switch, while the portable device is being charged, comparing the monitored temperature with a predefined threshold temperature, and restricting the charging current, based on the comparison.
