A current sense circuit that measures current passing through a multi-transistor switch, each transistor in configured in parallel. The current sense circuit mirrors the current in the switch through a mirror current branch that includes a mirror transistor. The current sense circuit obtains an accurate measure of current through the switch by applying voltages at the source and/or drain terminals of the mirror transistor that more closely approximate the average source and drain terminals of the constituent transistors of the switch. Thus, relatively accurate switch current measurements may be obtained.
